Forwarding a Domain Name to Your Reseller Storefront

Forwarding a domain name to your reseller storefront lets you use your own domain name of your choice for your storefront instead of the default URL.

The default URL for your reseller storefront is https://www.securepaynet.net/default.asp?prog_id=***, where *** is your reseller prog ID. This long URL is difficult to remember and hard to market. We recommend registering a domain name that supports your reseller branding, and then forwarding it to the default URL.

NOTE: To locate your storefront's URL, click View Storefront in your Reseller Control Center. You can copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

Forwarding redirects visitors from your domain name, such as coolexample.com, to a URL you specify, such as your storefront URL.

To forward or mask your domain name, you must use our nameservers. For more information, see Setting Nameservers for Your Domain Names.

NOTE: Domain name masking can create issues with viewing the turnkey storefront and processing orders. More information is available in Domain Name Masking Issues with the Reseller Storefront.

For your domain to forward, your domain's A record must be 64.202.189.170. For more information, see Updating Your Domain Name's IP Address for Forwarding.
