Connect a custom domain for booking

Reviewed 2026-08-30

Language

A custom domain lets clients open your booking page at an address you own—like booking.yoursalon.com—instead of only the default Orya link.

Open Domain settings

Open salon settings, then the Domain page for the salon you manage. You need permission to edit salon settings, plus access to wherever your website domain is managed (often Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or similar).

Open Domain settings

  1. Open Settings > Domain.
  2. Review Public booking URL and your domains list (or an empty list).
  3. Select Add domain when you are ready to connect a new address.

Prefer booking.yoursalon.com

Use a short address under your brand, such as booking.yoursalon.com. Connecting yoursalon.com alone is usually harder and slower to verify.

Share a working link while you wait

Until the custom address is live, keep sharing the default Orya booking link for texts, Instagram, or Google Business Profile.

Copy the Default URL

  1. Open Settings > Domain.
  2. Under Public booking URL, confirm Default URL (or Custom domain when one is live).
  3. Select Copy link to share the address.

Same booking page

The default Orya link and a live custom domain open the same published booking page—services, hours, and design stay the same.

Add a domain

Add the full address clients should visit, such as booking.yoursalon.com.

Save the Domain field

  1. Select Add domain.
  2. In the Add a new domain dialog, type the full address in the Domain field.
  3. Select Add domain to save.

After you add it

The domain stays pending until DNS is ready. Orya then shows the two records you must create where your domain is managed.

Create the two DNS records

DNS is the internet’s address book. Orya asks for two CNAME entries: one proves the address is yours; the other sends visitors to your Orya booking page.

Copy Host and Value

  1. Under DNS records, open the Ownership record and copy Host and Value.
  2. Create that CNAME where your domain is managed.
  3. Open the Routing record, copy Host and Value, and create the second CNAME.
  4. If you use Cloudflare, follow Cloudflare setup (exact steps) in Orya for the same fields.

Copy the routing Value from Orya

The routing target is unique for your salon connection. Copy it from Orya. Do not guess a generic target from a tutorial or an old note.

If you use Cloudflare

Turn the orange cloud off on both records so they stay DNS only (gray cloud). Orange cloud means Cloudflare answers in the middle—Orya needs a simple, direct pointer instead.

Verify DNS and go live

After you save both DNS records, wait about 5–30 minutes (sometimes up to 24 hours), then verify from Domain settings.

Select Verify DNS

  1. Open Settings > Domain.
  2. On the domain row, select Verify DNS.
  3. Wait for Checking… to finish, then select Refresh if the status looks old.
  4. Confirm status moves to Active, DNS pending, or DNS verified.

When it works

Success moves you toward a live custom address. Clients can use it. The secure lock in the browser (HTTPS) can take a few more minutes after DNS is verified.

Remove disconnects the address

Select Remove only when you want to stop the custom address. Confirm in the dialog, or choose Keep domain to cancel.

Leave the records in place

After the domain is live, leave both CNAME records alone. Deleting them, changing the values, or turning the orange cloud back on can break booking on that address.

One live custom address

You can add more than one domain over time, but only one custom domain is live for public booking at a time.
