# What CNAME record do I need to set up?

## The AccelPay Portal communicates with the code on your website using a CNAME record.

This is only applicable if you are using the proprietary AccelPay cart. If you are using the AccelPay-Shopify-Integration you do not need to set up a CNAME record.

Log in to your hosting domain provider and set up the following DNS record:

- Type: **CNAME**
- Name: **accelpay**
- Value: **cname.vercel-dns.com.**

For easy access, we've assembled instructions to set up a CNAME record for the following, popular domain registrars:
