How do I connect my domain when I'm ready to go live?

Before you move forward with connecting your domain, please make sure you've completed and read through the following checklist items:

1) Completed setting up your site following the articles and videos in Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Marketplace 

2) Completed setting up a Stripe or Stripe Connect account. If you haven't done so, please read the following article: 2.00 Setting up a Marketplace Payment Processor - If you prefer to add a different payment processor, those details need to be discussed. Please submit a ticket if this is the case. 

3) Purchased a Domain and SSL Certificate preferably from GoDaddy. If you are not familiar with what a Domain or an SSL Certificate is and why you need it, please read the following article: 2.02 Domain Name and SSL Certificate

Note: You will need to purchase a brand new SSL Certificate, preferably from GoDaddy for your marketplace site, however all you need is a basic one. We will not be able to connect your marketplace domain to an existing SSL Certificate or one that is tied to a different domain. Even if the SSL Certificate allows for multiple domains, if the SSL is already attached to a domain, it will not work. It must be brand new! 

4) (Optional) Completed setting up your Google project for social login capabilities. It is not required to have this completed, but our dev team will need to manually connect these items. Just submit a ticket once you're ready for us to connect these. Below are the links to the articles with the steps to set them up.

IMPORTANT: Once you've completed the domain connection process, our development team will manually connect your SSL Certificate, Stripe or Stripe Connect account and if you've completed setting up your social logins, they'll also connect your Google Social Login data.
