Set up your company's Verify portal.
Set Access Controls
Decide who can view your portal and how they access it. You can keep it fully public, or require a passcode for an extra layer of security.
- Choose visibility: Public (anyone with the link) or Password-protected
- Set a passcode (optional) — e.g. share it with clients on an invoice
- Choose notification preferences: receive an alert every time someone views your portal
- Optionally restrict access to specific email domains (e.g. @yourpartner.com only)
Preview Your Portal
Before going live, let's review exactly what people will see.
Your Verify portal is not publicly visible until you click Publish in the next step.
Set up your CNAME record.
Let's get you going. You'll need some instructions from your domain host, but we'll walk you through it.
- Log in to your domain registrar (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains)
- Navigate to DNS settings for your domain
- Add a new CNAME record:
DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate, though most registrars apply them within minutes. Once active, your portal will show a green padlock and HTTPS.
Go Live
Enter your website URL in Step 1 and we'll check whether your CNAME is live.
Stingray will send you a weekly digest of who has accessed your portal, so you always know exactly who's checking your details.
Share.
- Copy your portal link from the dashboard
- Add the link to your email signature
- Include it on your invoices (QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave, etc.)
- Add a "Verify Us" button or banner to your website
- Send an invitation directly to trusted partners and clients
- Share it in your onboarding materials and contracts
| Type | Name / Host | Value / Points to | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | verify | portals.stingray.security | Auto / 3600 |
The more places you share your portal link, the more you protect your clients — and yourself. Every view is logged so you always know who checked your details.
