  3. Wait until the DNS records are verified (this can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours). Click Refresh in Fillout to check if your domain has been connected.
You’ll know the setup is complete once the Pending status is gone.That’s it! Now, all your form links will begin with your domain name. You can see this in the Share page.Screenshot 2025-12-01 at 4.26.23 PM.png

Custom domain vs. subdomain

A subdomain is part of an existing domain. For example, foodmart.fillout.com uses “fillout.com” as the main domain, while “foodmart” is the subdomain. A custom domain uses a domain you own, like foodmart.com. This lets you share forms under your own brand instead of “fillout.com”, creating a more consistent experience for respondents.

Custom form links

Customize your form’s share link, subdomain and URL ending.

Custom favicon

Add your logo or icon to a browser tab and in link previews.

Remove Fillout branding

Remove Fillout buttons on form pages.
