Domain Name Setup

Note:

The domain configuration described on this page is not the optimal, preferred, or recommended approach for setting up domains for Mapp Fashion.

This setup should only be used in specific scenarios where domain delegation is not possible. For the best practice and recommended configuration, please refer to the Domain Delegation documentation.

Overview

Mapp Fashion requires a dedicated subdomain of your own domain to ensure reliable tracking across browsers. Serving Fashion content from your domain prevents it from being treated as third-party content, which could otherwise be blocked by browser privacy settings.
To enable all Mapp Fashion features, including Customer Journey Tracking, you must configure DNS records and provide matching HTTPS certificates for this subdomain.

Configuration Requirements

This section outlines the essential elements needed to activate Mapp Fashion services:

• Mapp Fashion content must be delivered through a subdomain of your domain to maintain first-party status.

• DNS records and HTTPS certificates are mandatory before using any Fashion functionality.

• You can provide certificates via Amazon Certificate Manager or your usual certificate provider.

DNS Configuration

Mapp Fashion content must be served from a subdomain of your existing domain.

For example, if your main domain is www.example.com, you may configure a subdomain such as mappfashion.example.com.

Create an A record for the subdomain that points to the appropriate Mapp Fashion IP addresses:

HTTPS Certificates

Mapp Fashion services and APIs are accessible only over HTTPS. You can provide the required certificate in one of two ways.

Option 1: Via Amazon Certificate Manager (Preferred)

Using this method, Mapp Fashion requests the certificate from Amazon. Amazon verifies domain ownership through DNS validation:

1. Amazon generates a CNAME record.

2. Mapp Fashion sends this record to you.

3. You add the CNAME to your DNS configuration.

4. Amazon validates the domain and issues a Domain Validated (DV) certificate.

Certificates issued through ACM are valid for approximately one year.

Option 2: Via Your Usual Certificate Provider

If you prefer to use your standard certificate authority:

1. Mapp Fashion generates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) using the details you provide, including your organization, country, and locality.

2. You submit the CSR to your certificate provider.

3. After the certificate is issued, you return it securely to Mapp Fashion.

4. Mapp Fashion installs the certificate on the servers.

This option allows you to choose the certificate type and issuing authority.
