New Features: Custom Domain Names & PayPal Pro
We are pleased to announce two new features for www.cannybill.com.
Custom Domain Names
By default your CannyBill admin login, order forms and customer my account URL is whatever-you-want.cannybill.com or clientorderform.com e.g.
http://company.cannybill.com or http://company.clientorderform.com
We have developed a new feature which now lets you have your own custom domain name rather then using the default CannyBill ones e.g.
http://billing.domain.com or http://www.domain.com
This is a great way to white label CannyBill as not only have you got full control over the design but now also the URL. Please note however that if you do use your own domain name for CannyBill you would also need to setup and buy your own SSL Certificate.
Under the admin -> settings -> invoice settings -> simply enter the custom domain name of your choice and save your settings. You will now need to change the DNS of your domain name e.g.
billing.mydomain.com. IN CNAME company.cannybill.com.
Please note the dot(.) at the end of domain names.
PayPal Payments Pro
We are please to announce the integration of the PayPal Pro payment gateway with CannyBill. The great advantage of PayPal Pro over the standard PayPal integration which is already built in the is the ability to have auto/recurring billing and also the fact that your customers do not get re-directed to PayPal to enter the credit card number, that’s all taken care on-site.
More information of PayPal and PayPal Pro can be found below:

Under admin -> settings -> Payment Gateways -> simply enter your PayPal credentials and you’re all set to go!

Custom domain name is an awesome feature, though you mention that customers would need to “Set up and buy your own SSL Certificate.”
What type of Certificate is required? Shared? Private?

Hi Ivan,
You would need a private SSL which you can actually buy via the CannyBill/GeoTrust API:
