What
Migration from your existing DNS provider to CloudFlare allows utilising CTD and open rates tracking on GetSales.
Why
Temporarily GetSales doesn't support self-signed SSL certificates. Yet we recommend using https for open rates tracing. CloudFlare offers this feature for free. GetSales will allow using any DNS shortly, after self-signed SSL certificates has been released.
How
It includes 4 simple steps:
Request migration details on CloudFlare. You can use the guidelines provided by CloudFlare to troubleshoot;
Update your existing DNS;
Create an A-record on CloudFlare and GetSales.
