Enabling SSL on Cloudflare for Your Trackier White-Label Domain

Easily generate and enable SSL on Cloudflare with this step-by-step guide. Secure your website, protect user data, and build trust in your domain.

Updated this week

Overview


In Trackier, you can set up white-label domains to promote your brand, differentiate traffic sources based on domains, and avoid domain spamming. Enabling SSL on these domains ensures that all data transmitted—such as login credentials, postback information, and API requests—is encrypted and secure.

Using SSL not only protects sensitive information but also builds trust with your partners and advertisers. Modern browsers flag websites without SSL as “Not Secure,” which may discourage users from interacting with your links or login pages. By combining white-label domains with SSL, you create a professional, branded, and secure environment for all users accessing your Trackier platform.

Note:

If you buy your domain from Cloudflare, you can have the SSL generated there as well.

Add Your Domain to Cloudflare

  1. Sign up or log in at cloudflare.com

  2. Click Add a Site and enter your domain name

  3. Cloudflare will automatically scan and import your existing DNS records

  4. Review the imported records and proceed to the next step

Update Your Name Servers

Cloudflare will provide you with two name servers. You need to replace your domain's existing name servers with these.

  1. Log in to your domain provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap)

  2. Navigate to the Name Servers or DNS settings for your domain

  3. Replace the existing name servers with the ones provided by Cloudflare

  4. Save the changes

Note: Name server changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate. Cloudflare will notify you by email once your domain is active on their network.

Navigate to DNS Settings in Cloudflare

Once your name servers are confirmed and your domain is active on Cloudflare:

  1. Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard

  2. Select your domain

  3. Click on DNS in the top navigation bar

Add the CNAME Record

  1. Click + Add Record

  2. Fill in the following fields:

Field

What to Enter

Type

Select CNAME

Name

Enter your subdomain only — e.g., if your domain is trk.xyz.com, enter trk

Target

Enter the CNAME value from your Trackier panel (found under Customize → Domain → Domain Type). The value differs depending on whether the domain is for tracking, login, postback, or API

TTL

Leave as Auto (default)

Proxy Status

Set to Proxied

Click Save

Confirm Proxy Status is Enabled

This is the most important step for SSL to work. Make sure the proxy status for your CNAME record is set to Proxied indicated by the orange cloud icon in Cloudflare.

When proxy status is set to Proxied, Cloudflare automatically provisions an SSL certificate for your domain. If proxy status is set to DNS Only (grey cloud), SSL will not be generated.

Once the record is saved with Proxied status, your CNAME is live and SSL is automatically enabled at no additional cost.

After following all the steps, a CNAME record would be added, and the SSL would also be generated for free.

DNS Propagation

After completing the setup, it may take anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours for the DNS changes to apply globally. During this period, some users may still access the domain without SSL while propagation completes — this is normal and resolves automatically.

To check whether your DNS changes are live, use an online DNS checker tool such as dnschecker.org.

Note:
Trackier provides SSL for your customised domain only in the Enterprise Plan.

Best Practices When Enabling SSL via Cloudflare

  • Double-Check DNS Records – After adding the CNAME, review it carefully to avoid typos in the subdomain or target field.

  • Wait for Propagation – DNS changes may take time. While some update within minutes, others can take up to 24 hours.

  • Verify with HTTPS – Once SSL is active, always test the domain with “https://” to confirm that the certificate is applied correctly.

  • Avoid Mixing HTTP and HTTPS – Ensure that all links and redirects use HTTPS consistently to avoid security warnings.

Troubleshooting

If SSL does not activate after completing the setup, check the following:

Issue

Resolution

SSL not activating

Confirm proxy status is set to Proxied, not DNS Only

Domain not resolving

Verify the CNAME Name and Target fields are entered correctly

Changes not visible yet

Wait for DNS propagation — use a DNS checker tool to monitor progress

Issue persists after 24 hours

Why SSL is Important

  • Encrypts all data exchanged between users and your Trackier platform including login credentials, postback signals, and API requests

  • Prevents modern browsers from flagging your domain as "Not Secure," which can discourage partners and publishers from interacting with your links

  • Builds trust with advertisers and publishers by presenting a professional, fully secured branded environment

  • Ensures compliance with modern web security standards across all your white-label domains


Conclusion

Setting up SSL via Cloudflare for your Trackier white-label domain is a straightforward process that takes just a few minutes to configure.

By keeping proxy status enabled, Cloudflare handles SSL provisioning automatically giving you a secure, branded domain without the complexity of manual certificate management.
