# Custom Domain Support - Complete Implementation Package

## 🎯 Your Question Answered

**Q: "Can my FastAPI multi-tenant app support multiple shops on different custom domains like customdomain1.com and customdomain2.com?"**

**A: YES! ✅** Your architecture is **perfectly suited** for this. You just need to add a domain mapping layer.

---

## 📊 What You Have vs What You Need

### ✅ What You Already Have (Perfect!)
- Multi-tenant architecture with vendor isolation
- Vendor context middleware
- Subdomain routing: `vendor1.platform.com`
- Path-based routing: `/vendor/vendor1/`
- Request state management

### ➕ What You Need to Add (Simple!)
- Database table: `vendor_domains` (1 table)
- Enhanced middleware: Check custom domains first
- DNS verification: Prevent domain hijacking

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

```bash
# 1. Add database table (5 minutes)
CREATE TABLE vendor_domains (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    vendor_id INTEGER REFERENCES vendors(id),
    domain VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE,
    is_verified BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE
);

# 2. Update middleware (10 minutes)
# See: updated_vendor_context.py

# 3. Test locally (5 minutes)
# Add to /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 testdomain.local

# Add test data:
INSERT INTO vendor_domains (vendor_id, domain, is_verified)
VALUES (1, 'testdomain.local', true);

# Visit: http://testdomain.local:8000/
# ✅ Should show Vendor 1's shop!
```

**Total time: 30 minutes** ⏱️

## 🏗️ Architecture Overview

### Before (Current)
```
Customer → vendor1.platform.com → Middleware checks subdomain → Vendor 1
```

### After (With Custom Domains)
```
Customer → customdomain1.com → Middleware checks domain table → Vendor 1
                             (subdomain still works too!)
```

### How It Works
```
1. Request arrives: Host = "customdomain1.com"
2. Middleware: Is it custom domain? YES
3. Query: SELECT vendor_id FROM vendor_domains WHERE domain = 'customdomain1.com'
4. Result: vendor_id = 1
5. Load: Vendor 1 data
6. Render: Vendor 1's shop
```

## 🎯 Key Features

### ✅ What You Get

**Custom Domain Support:**
- Vendors can use their own domains
- Multiple domains per vendor
- Professional branding

**Security:**
- DNS verification required
- Prevents domain hijacking
- Vendor ownership proof

**Backward Compatible:**
- Subdomain routing still works
- Path-based routing still works
- No breaking changes

**Scalability:**
- Single server handles all domains
- Database-driven routing
- Easy to manage

---

## 📈 Implementation Metrics

### Complexity
- **Database**: +1 table
- **Models**: +1 new, ~1 modified
- **Middleware**: ~1 file modified
- **Endpoints**: +5-7 API routes
- **Risk Level**: 🟢 Low

### Time Required
- **Local Test**: 30 minutes
- **Development**: 4-6 hours
- **Testing**: 2-3 hours
- **Deployment**: 2-4 hours
- **Total**: 🕐 1-2 days

### Resources
- **New Technologies**: None! Use existing stack
- **Server Changes**: Nginx config update
- **DNS Required**: Yes, per custom domain

---

## 🔐 Security Features

- ✅ **DNS Verification**: Vendors must prove domain ownership
- ✅ **TXT Record Check**: Token-based verification
- ✅ **Vendor Isolation**: Each vendor sees only their data
- ✅ **Active Status**: Domains can be deactivated
- ✅ **Audit Trail**: Track domain changes

---

## 🌐 DNS Configuration (Vendor Side)

When a vendor wants to use `customdomain1.com`:

```
# At their domain registrar:

1. A Record:
   Name: @
   Value: 123.45.67.89 (your server IP)

2. Verification TXT Record:
   Name: _wizamart-verify
   Value: [token from your platform]

3. Wait 5-15 minutes for DNS propagation

4. Admin verifies domain

5. Domain goes live! 🎉
```

---

## 🚀 Deployment Options

### Development
```bash
# Test locally with /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 testdomain.local
```

### Staging
```bash
# Use subdomain for testing
staging-vendor.platform.com
```

### Production
```bash
# Full custom domain support
customdomain1.com → Vendor 1
customdomain2.com → Vendor 2
```

---

## 💡 Why This Works

Your architecture is **already multi-tenant**:
- ✅ Vendor isolation exists
- ✅ Middleware detects context
- ✅ All queries scoped to vendor
- ✅ Request state management works

You just need to add **one more detection method**:
1. ~~Check subdomain~~ (existing)
2. ~~Check path~~ (existing)
3. **Check custom domain** (new!)
