You can add your logo, modify/change the colours and even use your own domain name for the software and the tracking servers.
- Add your own domains
You can Add/Change your own domains for dashboard and tracking with OffersHub by going to,
Settings > System Preferences > Domains
Dashboard Domain
This allows you to host your publisher/affiliate network on a custom domain as you please. Example : affiliates.sample.com
Before you start setup, you need to create a CNAME record from the DNS manager of your domain host. Your CNAME record value is “YOUR-NETWORK-ID.offershub.com”. Replace “YOUR-NETWORK-ID” with your OffersHub account id.
Tracking Domain
This allows you to host your offer tracking links on a custom domain as you please.
Example : tracking.sample.com
Before you start setup, you need to create a CNAME record from the DNS manager of your domain host. Your CNAME record value is “YOUR-NETWORK-ID.offershub.com”. Replace “YOUR-NETWORK-ID” with your OffersHub account id.
- Add email server configs (optional)
Want to send all the notifications and emails from your own email server? No problem, we provide option to setup then. Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Email Settings. There you can configure your email server with OffersHub and test connection.
To use Gmail as your SMTP server, first, you need to turn on the “Access for less secure apps” setting within your Gmail account. This allows external systems (such as OffersHub) to interface with your account. To learn more and change this setting, go to google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps.
If you see a notice that 2-Step Verification turned on and can’t use this setting, you need to generate an app-specific password to integrate with OffersHub. Do so by going to security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords.
Once you do whichever step is relevant to your Gmail account, fill in the Email Domain fields with:
- SMTP Server: Use Custom
- SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
- SMTP Port: 465
- Encryption Protocol: SSL
- SMTP Username: your full email address, including “@gmail.com” or “@yourdomain.com”
