# Custom Domain

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that custom domains are only available with the [Premium plan](https://www.payrexx.com/en/pricing).
{% endhint %}

By default, the URL of a payment page on Payrexx is instancename.payrexx.com, where "instancename" corresponds to the name you have chosen for your Payrexx account. However, you can set up a custom domain for your payment page.

### Benefits of a custom domain

A custom domain offers several advantages:

* Enhances brand visibility
* Improves user experience
* Builds trust and customer loyalty
* Smoother payment process
* Expands marketing opportunities

### Example of a custom domain

For example, the online store of the merchant "Example Shop Ltd." operates under the domain exampleshop.com. When registering with Payrexx, they choose the instance name "exampleshop". By default, the URL of their payment page on Payrexx would be exampleshop.payrexx.com.

After a customer completes their order on exampleshop.com and proceeds to the payment page, the domain changes from exampleshop.com to payrexx.com.

With a custom domain feature at Payrexx, the merchant has the option to run the payment page under their own domain, such as pay.exampleshop.com.

### Setting up a custom domain

The prerequisite for creating a custom domain is the [Premium plan](https://www.payrexx.com/en/pricing) from Payrexx. You can set it up easily in the Payrexx backend under **Settings > General settings > Domain**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/account/settings/general-settings/custom-domain.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
