Introduction
When you set up a Showroom in Uphance, it will have a generic domain URL.
For example, if your brand goes by the name “awesome” and you set up a showroom in Uphance, the showroom will have the URL below:
buyer.uphance.com/awesome
Now, that URL might be too ugly for your liking. Even if it isn’t, your customers might not find it appealing.
Lucky for you, Uphance makes it easy to use a custom domain for your showroom.
