Welcome to We-Connect!

I am glad that you are considering setting up a white label account. This article provides all the steps of setting up White Label app. We have designed our white label in a way that you can set it up yourself without much technical knowledge. Once you pay the White label fees, you will land at this page (screenshot below).

(The screenshot above shows that your “White Label” account is active now because we are using screenshots from a preconfigured account).

Please click the “Customize App” button to start customizing your Whitelabel app.

Once you are inside the Whitelabel setup page, you will see the following four sub menus.

(1) Custom Domain

(2) Branding

(3) SMTP and

(4) More Settings.

Let's walk through these one by one.

(1) Setting up a custom domain.

1. Create a CNAME (Eg: app.yourdomainname.com) and point it to "app-us-1.we-connect.io".

2. Create a CNAME (Eg: api.yourdomainname.com) and point it to "api-us-1.we-connect.io"

If you do not know how to configure a cname, click the “How to configure CNAME” link to read the article.

Once you have set up the CNAME, click the “Next” button on the bottom right of the screen (please check the screenshot below).

Below the CNAME configuration, you can choose to share API documentation with your customers. When toggled on, you can insert the domain you wish to display.

(2) Branding.

Now, let's customize the App.

Fill in the form fields. The window on the right panel will reflect the information you fill in real time. The window basically shows you the progress as you go through the branding steps.

Please type your company name. Notice the name appears on the top left.

Now provide an email address that you would like us to use to contact you for customer support.

Now upload your Favicon, Logo, and Logo Icon. Watch how it looks on the right-side panel window.

Next customize your Menu color, background color and font color. Try a few free variations and finalize the colors you like or those that best represent your brand (please check the screenshot below).

Now lets customize the “Registration page”. This is where your customers can directly sign up on your website.

Please click the “Register button” adjacent to the “App” button.

Customize it the same way you did in the previous step by uploading the logo and selecting the colors.

Now input the URL of your “Terms” page. If you do not have a “Terms'' page, you will need to create one. You can include whatever terms you want your customers to agree to at the time of registration. These terms could include your subscription, billing, cancellation, refund policy etc.

Once you provide the URL, your customer will be able to click the link “Terms & conditions” and view your terms and check the box “ I agree to the terms and conditions”. Your customer will not be able to complete the registration unless the box is checked.

Now lets click the “ Next Button”

(3) SMTP Setup.

Configure a custom email address [[email protected]] for sending notification emails from your app to your customers. This will be set as the From address of the email instead of default [email protected].

To add your custom email, please follow the steps in the screenshot below.

Now click the “Click the Test SMTP settings button. If you did all the settings correctly, you will see the “ Your settings are correct” message (check the screenshot below for your reference).

If you do not know how to set up SMTP, please click the link on the page (check the screenshot above) that says "How to setup SMTP? and read the article to learn more.

You can view, customize and disable the type of notifications you want to send to your customers by clicking the Edit Email Content button. Once you click the button, you will see the content of all the different type of email notifications. You can edit the content, subject line or disable it by clicking the template name (check the screenshot below).

Once you are done, please click the “Back” button (check screenshot below).

Now click the next button to go to the the final step.

(4) More Settings.

All of these settings are optional and are disabled by default. You can enable these just by clicking the button for each settings and complete the necessary field values.

(a) Help Center URL: If you have a help section for your customers with articles, videos, best practices, sales hacks or FAQ’s you can provide it here and your customers will be able to access it from within your app like you see one in We-Connect app (check screenshot below).

(b) Next provide the Meta Description for your site for the purpose of SEO.

(c) You can optionally integrate “ Intercom” chat support if you use or intend to use Intercom in the future. Just provide the Intercom ID and the access token from your Intercom account (check screenshot below).
