# Domain management

{% hint style="info" %}
Domain configuration is a necessary step only if you intend to use the widget in its **embedded mode**.
{% endhint %}

To deploy the Inqud Crypto Widget in embedded mode, merchants are required to first verify their domain where the widget is to be embedded. After the domain is verified and approved, it can be linked with the widget. This step is crucial for a seamless integration of the widget into the merchant's website system.

Embedded mode refers to the integration of the widget directly within the merchant's website, ensuring a cohesive and uninterrupted user experience.

If you intend to use the widget in embedded mode, the initial step involves submitting your widget for domain verification.

### Domain verification guide

To verify a domain and add a widget, there are two methods available:

#### First Method:

1. Navigate to the "Crypto widgets" section in the menu, then select "Domains."
2. On the "Domains" page, click the "Add" button.
3. In the pop-up window, fill out the form by entering the domain address to be verified.
4. Click the "Submit" button to complete the process of adding a widget for verification.

#### Second Method:

1. Go to the "Crypto widgets" section in the menu, then select "Widgets."
2. Choose the desired widget.
3. In the widget profile, go to the "Domain Management" section and click the "Add" button.
4. In the pop-up window, fill out the form by entering the domain address to be verified.
5. Click the "Submit" button to complete the process of adding a widget for verification.

<mark style="background-color:green;">Please note that domain verification may take up to 24 hours. After the verification is completed, the domain will be assigned the appropriate status.</mark>

Upon submission, your domain will be marked with a '<mark style="color:yellow;">**PENDING**</mark>' status. The Inqud team will then review your submission, after which the status of your domain will either be updated to '<mark style="color:green;">**SUCCESS**</mark>' or '<mark style="color:red;">**REJECTED**</mark>'.

Once your domain achieves a '<mark style="color:green;">**SUCCESS**</mark>' status, you are then able to attach it to your widget for further use.
