How to Buy a Domain and Connect It to a Funnel
This guide walks you through purchasing a domain and connecting it to your funnel so your pages are live on a professional, branded URL. No outside tools or third-party registrars needed — you can do everything right inside your account.
Part 1 — Buy Your Domain





Things to know about your purchase:
- Your domain automatically includes WHOIS privacy protection, keeping your personal details hidden from public lookups.
- Domain purchases cannot be refunded, canceled, or removed once completed.
- The domain stays with the account where it was purchased.
QUICK TIP — You can also buy a domain while you are already editing a funnel or website. In the funnel settings, open the Domain dropdown and click "Can't find your domain?" Then select "Purchase Domain" to jump straight to the search page.

Part 2 — Set Up Your Domain
After buying your domain, you need to configure it before connecting it to a funnel. The good news is that since you bought the domain through the platform, most of the setup is automatic.

This opens the domain configuration page where you can see your DNS records and manage your domain settings.

On this page you will see:
- Your domain status (Active or Setting Up).
- The purchase date and renewal date.
- DNS records that were automatically created (A Record and CNAME).
- A "Connect this domain" button in the top right corner.
You do not need to manually add any DNS records. Everything is set up automatically because you purchased the domain through the platform.
Part 3 — Connect Your Domain to a Funnel
This is the final step. You are going to link your domain to a specific funnel so people can visit your funnel by typing your domain name in their browser.




That is it. Your domain is now connected to your funnel. An SSL certificate will be set up automatically so your funnel is served securely over HTTPS. This usually takes just a few minutes.
Connecting a Domain You Already Own
If you already bought a domain from somewhere else (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Cloudflare), you can still connect it to your funnel. Here is how.
FOR GODADDY, GOOGLE DOMAINS, OR CLOUDFLARE (AUTOMATIC SETUP)
These registrars support automatic DNS configuration, which makes the process simple:
for Other Registrars (manual Setup)
If your registrar does not support automatic setup, you will need to add DNS records manually:
Common Questions
Can I use one domain for multiple funnels?
No. One domain connects to one funnel (or one website, or one store). If you need separate domains for different funnels, use subdomains. For example, use yourbusiness.com for your main website and offers.yourbusiness.com for your sales funnel.
How long does it take for DNS changes to work?
If you purchased your domain through the platform, it works almost immediately. If you are connecting a domain from another registrar, DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours.
Does the www version of my domain work too?
Yes. The system automatically redirects www.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com.
Do I need to buy an SSL certificate?
No. SSL certificates are included for free and are set up automatically for every connected domain.
What if my domain will not verify?
Check your DNS records for typos. Make sure there are no old or conflicting records. You can use a free tool like dnschecker.org to see if your DNS records have gone live. If you are still stuck, contact support for help.
Tip: Buying your domain directly through the platform is the easiest option because everything is set up automatically. If you already have a domain elsewhere, connecting it is still straightforward — just allow extra time for DNS changes to take effect.
