You can use your own domain or subdomain with your LNbits SaaS instance.
This is useful if you want a branded payment URL for your shop, event, organisation, or public-facing LNbits deployment.
Go to your domain registrar control panel and open your domain name’s DNS records page
DNS Setup
Root Domain Configuration
Example configuration for example.com
Create a DNS record with the following settings
| Type | Host / Name | Value / Points to | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 68.183.254.12 | Auto / 300 sec |
| CNAME | www | @ | Auto / 300 sec |
Subdomain Configuration
Example configuration for pay.example.com
Create a DNS entry with the following values
| Type | Host / Name | Value / Points to | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | pay | api.lnbits.com | Auto / 300 sec |
This means visitors using pay.example.com will reach your LNbits instance.
After DNS is Added
Once the DNS record is live:
- Add the domain inside your LNbits SaaS settings
- Wait for DNS propagation this can take 5 minutes to a day depending on your record’s TTL settings
- SSL certificates are issued automatically once your domain resolves
