ECOM | Cloudflare Proxy Setup Guide

Welcome to our Cloudflare Proxy onboarding guide. This step-by-step process will ensure your site is properly configured to use Cloudflare's proxy service, enhancing security and performance.

Important Note: Transitioning to the CF Workers Proxy Service

This guide applies to both new users and existing users transitioning from our old proxy:

1. New Users:
   • If your content site is currently using the root domain, you can directly follow the setup steps below without additional adjustments.
2. Existing Users on the Old Proxy:
   • If your content site is currently using a subdomain, you will need to migrate it to the root domain before proceeding.
   • Adjust the DNS settings according to your platform (e.g., WordPress or your CDN).
   • This migration requires scheduling to avoid any potential downtime. Please coordinate with your team to plan this transition carefully.
   • Once the domain transition is complete, follow the steps outlined below to set up the new Cloudflare proxy.

Step 5: Launch Day - DNS Record Updates

• New Onboarding Clients (No ECOM integration configured):
  • In your domain's Cloudflare DNS settings, configure the primary domain record to "Proxied".
• Existing ECOM DNS Proxy Clients (ECOM DNS Proxy integration configured):
  
  • Update the following records to the IP and values necessary to connect the Wordpress content site to the main domain natively.
    
    • Note: Updating these record values PRIOR to launch day will disconnect the ECOM integration and result in the menu not loading correctly.
    • If needed, the DNS Proxy record values can be found here.

• • Set these records to "Proxied" in the Cloudflare DNS settings
• Once complete and confirmed; the ECOM menu will load on its configured url (Example: dispensarydomain.com/menu)
