Configuring DNS on Cloudflare
- Access the website where you purchased your domain, such as Hostinger or Registro.br.
- Next, go to Cloudflare, navigate to “Websites” and click on “Add a site”.
After entering your domain, copy the provided nameservers and paste them on the website where you purchased the domain, in the DNS/Nameservers section.
Configuring your domain on Square Cloud
- Choose the site you want to configure the domain for in the dashboard, then go to the Settings option and enter your domain in place of “example.com.”
- Now that the domain is configured on Square Cloud, go back to Cloudflare, select your domain, and choose the DNS option.
- Finally, point your domain to “cname.squareweb.app” with the type “CNAME”, replacing “name” with your domain, and another with the type TXT with the value that will appear in “DNS Configuration” after clicking “save”.
