Custom short-link domains

By default dynamic QR codes redirect through qr.zalize.com/r/<slug>. With a custom domain, the same codes can resolve through your own brand, e.g.go.yourbrand.com/r/<slug>.

Status: early access. The redirect engine already resolves short links on any hostname routed to it. Domain onboarding (CNAME verification & TLS issuance via Cloudflare for SaaS) is being rolled out. Want in? Email hello@zalize.com with your domain and we'll connect it manually.

How it will work

  1. Add a subdomain of your own site, e.g. go.yourbrand.com.
  2. Create a CNAME record: go.yourbrand.com → qr.zalize.com.
  3. We verify the record and issue a TLS certificate automatically (Cloudflare for SaaS custom hostnames).
  4. All of your existing and future short links immediately work on your domain — QR images can be re-downloaded with the new URL at any time.

FAQ

Do my existing printed codes break?
No. Codes printed with qr.zalize.com keep working forever. A custom domain only adds an additional hostname.
Is this a paid feature?
Custom domains will be part of the Pro plan ($29/yr) — no extra charge.
Can I use a root domain (yourbrand.com)?
We recommend a dedicated subdomain (go., qr., scan.) so your main site is unaffected.
