A web address is part of your brand. When customers see your own name in the address bar, they remember it, they trust it, and they come back to it. When you sell under someone else's name, you're building their brand as much as yours.
With MultiVendor, your store or marketplace gets its own address from the very first publish. A free subdomain is created automatically, so you can share your store right away. When you're ready, connect a domain you own — we show you exactly which DNS records to add, verify the connection and issue and renew the HTTPS certificate for you.
Your address is only part of it. Your wordmark, colour palette and fonts carry through every page, from the homepage to product pages, seller pages, course pages and event pages. It's your store or your marketplace — not a listing on someone else's.
How it works
- 1
Design your brand
Choose your store name, wordmark, colour palette and fonts — or let the AI builder suggest brand name ideas, a tagline, colours and fonts for you.
- 2
Publish and get your free address
When you publish, a free subdomain on multivendor.org is created automatically, so your store is online and shareable straight away.
- 3
Connect your own domain
On Growth plans and up, enter the domain you own. We show the DNS records to add at your domain registrar.
- 4
We verify and secure it
Once the records are in place, we verify your domain and issue the HTTPS certificate automatically — and keep renewing it for you.
Everything included
A free subdomain from day one
AvailableYou don't need to buy a domain to start selling online. As soon as you publish your store or marketplace, MultiVendor creates a free subdomain on multivendor.org for it. It's secured with HTTPS and ready to share on social media, in emails and on printed QR codes.
- Created automatically when you publish
- Secured with HTTPS from the start
- Included on every plan
- Ready to share immediately
Connect your own custom domain
AvailableOn the Growth plan and up, you can run your store or marketplace on a domain you own, such as yourbrand.com. You keep your domain with whichever registrar you bought it from. MultiVendor shows you the exact DNS records to add, checks them and tells you when your domain is connected.
- Use a domain you already own or buy one from any registrar
- Clear DNS records shown step by step
- Automatic verification once the records are in place
- Available on Growth plans and up
- Your domain stays registered in your own name
Automatic HTTPS certificates
AvailableEvery page of your store is served over HTTPS, including custom domains. You don't need to buy, install or remember to renew a certificate — we issue it when your domain is verified and renew it automatically before it expires. Buyers see the padlock, and search engines see a secure site.
- HTTPS everywhere, including custom domains
- Certificates issued automatically after verification
- Renewed automatically — nothing to remember
- No extra cost for certificates
Your brand on every page
AvailableYour store looks like your business, not like a template. Set your wordmark, colour palette and fonts, and they're applied across your homepage, product pages, seller pages, course pages and event pages. You can change the design in plain English with the AI builder — for example "make it more elegant" — and every change is validated before it's applied.
- Your store name as a text wordmark logo
- Your own colour palette
- Your choice of fonts
- Homepage sections you can add, move, hide or remove
- Plain-English design edits with the AI builder
- A small "Powered by MultiVendor" link in the footer
Protection against look-alike names
AvailableA trusted platform needs to stay trusted. When a subdomain is chosen, names that imitate well-known brands or sign-in pages — for example something like "paypal-login" — are blocked and flagged. That protects your buyers and the reputation of every store on MultiVendor.
- Look-alike and phishing subdomain names blocked
- Suspicious names flagged for review
- Helps keep buyers safe from imitation sites
- Protects the reputation of legitimate stores
Built for search and sharing
AvailableYour own address works hand in hand with MultiVendor's built-in SEO and marketing tools. Page titles, descriptions, structured data and sitemaps are generated for your store, and short links on your own address look trustworthy when you share them.
- SEO titles, descriptions and structured data
- Sitemaps for search engines
- Short links in the form {store}/l/{code}
- Open Graph preview cards when your links are shared
For every type of store
How custom domains works when you sell merchandise, digital downloads, online courses or online events.
Merchandise
A branded address makes a clothing label, handmade studio or vintage shop feel like a real store. Print it on packaging, tags and business cards so customers can find you again without searching a marketplace.
Sell merchandise →Digital downloads
For creators selling e-books, templates or sample packs, your own domain turns your audience into your customers. Share it in your bio, newsletter and video descriptions, and every visitor lands on your brand rather than a crowded marketplace.
Sell digital downloads →Online events
Event promotion lives on links and posters. A short, memorable domain is easy to say on a webinar, print on a flyer or add to a social post, and the HTTPS padlock reassures people when they register.
Host online events →Online courses
Learners trust a course that lives on its creator's own domain. Your course pages, preview lessons and learner library all appear under your brand, which helps you build a school people recognize.
Sell online courses →Get the most out of it
Start with the free subdomain
You don't have to wait for a domain to start. Publish on your free subdomain, test your store and share it, then connect your own domain when you upgrade.
Choose a short, clear domain
Pick a name that's easy to spell, easy to say out loud and close to your store name. Avoid hyphens and odd spellings that customers might mistype.
Add the DNS records exactly
Copy the records we show into your registrar's DNS settings exactly as written. Changes can take a little while to spread before verification succeeds.
Keep your brand consistent
Use the same name, colours and fonts on your store, social profiles and printed materials so customers recognize you everywhere.
