NOTE: Registering a custom domain requires the WM Store to be in Stand-alone mode (see: What's stand-alone mode and why should I select it?).
WM Store allows you to register a custom domain for your dispensary.
A custom domain allows you to keep your existing domain name and run your WM Store on a subdomain.
Registering a custom domain
Let's walk through the steps below to create and register a custom domain:
Using your Weedmaps admin account, Log in.
From the left navigation menu, click WM Store.
3. Select a listing.
4. Click Edit Store:
For a new WM Store, click + New Store to create a new WM Store and register a custom domain.
For an existing WM Store, click Install on your WM Store configuration.
5. For Install Type, ensure the Store is set to Stand-alone mode.
6. For Custom Domains, type your desired domain name.
7. Click Add.
NOTE: A CNAME DNS Record is the supported method to verify and run your WM Store. CNAMEs are only supported for subdomains.
Registration process
Once you click Add for the custom domain, the domain is added to your WM Store and goes through three (3) registration processes:
CDN status registers the domain with the Weedmaps Global CDN:
This process takes anywhere from 30 seconds to one (1) minute.
CNAME process must be performed by you or someone with access to your domain registrar:
For detailed instructions on registering a CNAME for popular website platforms, see one of the articles below:
SSL process can take anywhere from one (1) to four (4) hours:
SSL can only complete once both the CDN and CNAME processes are complete.
Once all three (3) registration processes are completed, your WM Store will be available at the custom domain you provided.
