What Is a ConvertKit White Label Embed?
A ConvertKit white label embed lets you place subscription forms, landing pages, and content upgrades on your website without any ConvertKit branding. The form inherits your own colors, fonts, and domain, giving visitors a fully branded experience while you still capture leads into ConvertKit.
Why Choose White Label Embeds?
- Brand Consistency: Keep your brand front‑and‑center, eliminating the “third‑party” feel.
- Higher Conversions: Seamless design reduces friction and boosts sign‑up rates.
- Improved Trust: Visitors feel more secure when they stay on your domain.
- SEO Benefits: No external redirects means better page speed and SEO signals.
How to Enable White Label Embeds in ConvertKit
- Upgrade to a Pro or Creator plan – White label is only available on paid tiers.
- Navigate to Settings → Advanced → White Label in your ConvertKit dashboard.
- Toggle Enable white‑label forms and add your custom domain (e.g.,
forms.yoursite.com). - Save changes – ConvertKit will provision an SSL‑secured subdomain for you.
Step‑by‑step: Adding the Embed Code
- Go to the Landing Pages & Forms section and create or edit a form.
- Click Publish and choose HTML Embed.
- Copy the
<script>snippet. It will now reference your white‑label domain. - Paste the snippet into the
<head>or just before the closing<body>tag of the page where you want the form.
Best Practices for Seamless Integration
- Match Your Site Styles: Use CSS variables or the built‑in ConvertKit style editor to align fonts, button radius, and colors.
- Load Asynchronously: Add
asyncto the script tag to prevent blocking page render. - Test Across Devices: Verify the form looks good on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
- Monitor Performance: Use Chrome DevTools or PageSpeed Insights to ensure the embed doesn’t slow your page.
Advanced Tips
Custom Thank‑You Pages
Instead of the default ConvertKit thank‑you page, set a Redirect URL in the form settings. This keeps the user on your site and lets you continue the branded journey.
Dynamic Form Content
Use ConvertKit’s Conditional Content to show different form fields based on URL parameters or subscriber tags. Pair this with your own JavaScript for a truly personalized experience.
A/B Testing Without the ConvertKit UI
Create two forms with different headlines, then embed each on a separate page or use a simple JavaScript toggle. Track conversions in ConvertKit’s analytics or Google Analytics.
Common Issues & How to Fix Them
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Form still shows ConvertKit branding | Confirm the white‑label toggle is enabled and the embed script points to your custom domain. |
| SSL error on custom domain | Make sure your DNS CNAME record points to custom.convertkit.com and allow up to 24 hours for propagation. |
| Slow page load | Load the script asynchronously and minify any custom CSS you add. |

No. The embed lives on your existing site; ConvertKit only provides a branded subdomain for the form’s assets.
Can I use white label forms with WordPress?
Yes. Paste the script into a Custom HTML block, or use a shortcode plugin that injects the code where you need it.
Will my subscribers see any ConvertKit branding in their confirmation emails?
Only if you keep the default email templates. You can fully brand emails in ConvertKit’s Email Templates section.
