Q: Clarification Needed on Embedding, CNAME, and Email Capture
I'm interested in purchasing FlipBooklets, but I’m a bit unclear about what Option 3 includes. I’m currently deciding between Option 2 and Option 3.
My main goal is to embed the flipbooks on my WordPress website and have them open in the same way as the examples shown on your site (https://flipbooklets.com/examples). Is that functionality available with both options?
Also, could you clarify the purpose of the “1 Custom Domain (CNAME)” feature in Option 3? If embedding works directly on my site, I'm just curious about the added value of that feature.
Lastly, I noticed the email capture form doesn’t seem to validate email addresses. Is there any way to prevent users from submitting random or fake emails?

Thanks for getting in touch. I can certainly help. The embed function is available on both tier 2 and 3. If that is your main goal, tier 2 will do you just fine and you can save $59 too.
The purpose of the custom domain it to be able to have your link before the book name. Essentially you add a CNAME for a subdomain of your choice to your DNS which points to our service. Once setup we take care of the routing and SSL certificate and your books will then display as though they are from your subdomain.
The link will go from...
https://flipbooklets.com/pdfflipbooklets/your-book-name
to...
https://subdomain.yourdomain.com/your-book-name
If you are only going to embed them on your website, this feature will be of little-to-no value to you.
At the moment there is no validation. We can implement this, but it will not stop people using a temporary email address just to validate and get access. As a result we've not prioritised this feature.
I hope that all helps, any additional questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks
Ben
