This guide will walk you through the steps to connect a custom domain to your rental website.
How it works
When you create your online store with Booqable, you're given a default booqable.store domain (e.g., https://example.booqable.store/). You can change this to a custom domain you have or plan to purchase, such as www.yourwebsite.com.
1. Purchase your domain
Before you connect your domain, you will have to purchase one from a provider such as GoDaddy. or Domain.com.
2. Connect your domain to your Booqable account
1. In your Booqable account, go to: Settings > Online Reservations> Preferences > Custom Domain.
2. Enter your custom domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) and click "Save".
💡Note: If you want to use a domain with "www" (e.g., www.yourdomain.com), make sure to enter "www.yourdomain.com" in the Booqable settings as well.
3. Set up an A record
This step will make sure your website's visitors are directed to the right place.
Log in to your domain provider's website
Follow their guide to set up an A record (links provided below).

Enter your domain name, select the A record from the dropdown and click on Search.
For A records, check if the IP address reads 54.160.66.7.
