Checkout on your own domain

The conversion key only reaches the checkout if the player recognizes the link's domain. This guide shows how to include your checkout's domain.

Why add the domain

For safety, the player only writes the conversion key into links that point to a known checkout domain. The platform's official domains are already covered, for example pay.hotmart.com on Hotmart.

If your checkout opens on your own domain, like checkout.yoursite.com, the player doesn't recognize the link and doesn't write the key. The sale arrives without tracking and doesn't count toward the video.

When to use it

• Your payment platform supports a checkout on your own domain and you use it.
• You use an automation conversion (Zapier, Make, or n8n). In that case the field is required, because the checkout is yours and only you know its domain.

When creating the conversion

1. In Account settings › Conversions, click New conversion and pick the platform.
2. Click + My checkout uses its own domain.
3. In Your checkout domains, enter the domains separated by commas, for example pay.yoursite.com, checkout.yoursite.com.
4. Finish creating the conversion as usual.

On an existing conversion

In the conversion menu, on the Conversions list, choose Checkout domains, edit the list, and click Save domains. Links to those domains will carry that conversion's key.

Rules

• Enter just the domain, with no https:// or path.
• Up to 10 domains per conversion.
• A domain also covers its subdomains: yoursite.com covers pay.yoursite.com. To narrow it down, enter the exact subdomain.
• Only http and https links are tagged.

Common issues

• Shortened link: a short link points to the shortener's domain, not the checkout's, so the player doesn't write the key. Use the direct checkout link.
• Link to an in-between page: if the button goes to another page of yours before the checkout, the key doesn't carry over to the checkout on its own. Point the button straight at the checkout.
• Domain entered with a path: the field only takes the domain. Remove https:// and everything after the first slash.

How to check it

1. Open the published page where the player is.
2. Click the buy button or link.
3. In the checkout address, check that the conversion parameter shows up followed by a long value, for example ?src= and the key.

If the parameter doesn't show up, the link's domain isn't covered by the conversion linked to the video, or the video doesn't have a linked conversion yet.

The "This link does not look like the platform" warning

On the video screen, under your conversion, the checkout link shows this warning when the address is outside the known domains. If the checkout is yours, add its domain to the conversion as described above.
