Step 1: Understand Your Website URL Options
MagicDoor provides two options for your company website URL.
Default MagicDoor URL
- Ends with
with.magicdoor.com - No domain purchase required
- Fully functional and ready to use
If you’re using the default MagicDoor URL, no additional setup is needed.
Custom Domain (Optional)
If you want a branded URL (for example, mycompany.com):
- You must purchase a domain from a domain provider
- You’ll need to set up a CNAME record in your domain’s DNS settings
- The CNAME should point to your MagicDoor URL
After setting the CNAME:
- HTTPS typically activates within about one hour
- Once active, your custom domain becomes your primary website URL
Step 2: Edit Your Website URL
To manage your website URL settings:
- Go to Portal Invite & URL in your MagicDoor account settings
- Follow the instructions to either:
- Continue using the default MagicDoor URL, or
- Connect your custom domain
Once you switch to a custom domain, the default MagicDoor URL will no longer work.
Step 3: Confirm Your Custom Domain
After setup is complete:
- Visiting the default MagicDoor URL will show an error
- Your custom domain will load your website successfully
This ensures visitors only access your site through your branded URL.
Step 4: Customize Your Website Theme
You can update the look and feel of your website to match your brand.
- Navigate to Portal Settings
- Customize:
- Website color theme
- Company logo
- Background image
Changes are applied to your company website automatically.
