Using Your Own Domain for the Booking & Customer Portal

Updated today

Overview

Kinnovis now supports hosting your Booking Portal and Customer Portal under your own custom domain — for example, www.book.yourbusiness.com instead of the default Kinnovis subdomain.

This gives you full control over your customer's experience and solves two common pain points:

Tracking & analytics: Funnels and conversion tracking break when customers cross domains.

Double consent banners: Customers were seeing two cookie/consent prompts - one from your site and one from Kinnovis. With a custom domain, you can disable Kinnovis's banner and use your own.

What You Can Set Up

This feature gives you three main capabilities, which can be used together or independently:

Feature

What it does

Custom Domain

Host your Booking & Customer Portal under your own domain or subdomain.

Disable Consent Banner

Turn off the Kinnovis cookie/consent banner so you can use your own.

Custom JavaScript

Inject your own scripts - for consent tools, tracking pixels, or other integrations.

Set Up Your Custom Domain

What you need

  • Access to your domain's DNS settings (usually via your domain registrar or hosting provider).

  • A subdomain you want to use, e.g. book.yourdomain.com

Where to find the domain setting in Kinnovis

In your Kinnovis Manager, go to:

Settings → Booking Portal → Global Settings → Domain Settings

Enter your desired domain (e.g. book.yourbusiness.com) and save. Kinnovis will display the DNS entries you need to add.

Add two DNS records

Log in to your DNS provider and add the following two records:

Type

Name / Host

Value

CNAME

book (your subdomain)

Provided by Kinnovis in the Manager (the public route URL)

TXT

_dnsauth.book

A unique hash provided by Kinnovis (used to enable HTTPS/SSL)

💡 Tip: DNS changes can take up to 12 hours to propagate globally, though it's usually much faster. In Kinnovis you will confirm once your domain is verified and HTTPS is active.

Specific information for franchise operators on a multidomain setup (multiple locations)

If you manage multiple locations, you can configure domains per location. Each location can:

• Use its own unique custom domain, or

• Reuse an existing domain already set up for another location (using the "Use existing" option in the dropdown).

The Customer Portal uses the global tenant setting by default, or the domain configured for its specific location.

⚠️ Note: If multiple locations in a franchise share the same subdomain, changing the domain for one will change it for all of them. A warning will be shown in the Manager before you confirm.

The next article explains how you can disable the Kinnovis consent banner (cookie banner) in case you're already using one on your website.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the old Kinnovis domain after I switch?

The previous Kinnovis subdomain will automatically redirect visitors to your new custom domain for a period of 30 days, then it will be deactivated.

Can I use the same custom domain for both the Booking Portal and Customer Portal?

Yes. By default, the global domain setting applies to both portals. You can also configure them separately.

I manage multiple locations - do I need a separate domain for each?

No. You can reuse the same domain across multiple locations, or assign a unique domain to each. If you use the same subdomain for multiple locations, be aware that changes affect all of them.
