White-Label GoHighLevel: Complete 7-Step Guide 2026
White-label GoHighLevel allows agencies and businesses to transform the platform into their own CRM solution, removing all GoHighLevel branding and applying custom visual identity. With 7 practical steps, you can set up a complete system that your clients will see as 100% your own product.
1. Activating White-Label Mode in Your Account
The first step is to activate the white-label feature in your GoHighLevel account. This feature is only available on Agency Pro ($297/month) and Agency Unlimited ($497/month) plans.
How to activate:
- Access your main GoHighLevel account
- Click on "Settings" in the left sidebar menu
- Select "Company" in the submenu
- Scroll to the "White Label Settings" section
- Click the "Enable White Label" button
- Confirm activation
After activation, you'll see new customization options appear in the menu. From this moment on, all sub-accounts created will inherit your white-label settings.
Important: Once activated, the process cannot be easily reversed. Make sure you're ready to complete the full customization.
2. Setting Up Your Platform's Visual Identity
Now you need to completely customize the platform's appearance to reflect your brand.
Elements to customize:
Main Logo:
- Recommended dimensions: 200x50 pixels
- Format: PNG with transparent background
- Will appear in the top-left corner of all screens
Favicon:
- Dimensions: 32x32 pixels
- Format: ICO or PNG
- Will display in browser tabs
Interface Colors:
- Primary color: Defines main buttons and highlights
- Secondary color: Links and supporting elements
- Background color: Overall platform background
- Text color: Adequate contrast for readability
Step-by-step configuration:
- In "White Label Settings", click on "Branding"
- Upload your logo in the "Company Logo" field
- Add the favicon in the corresponding field
- Configure colors using the color picker or hexadecimal codes
- Preview changes in real-time
- Click "Save Changes"
Vida Digital Solutions always recommends maintaining consistency with your client's corporate identity, creating a truly integrated experience.
3. Customizing URLs and Custom Domain
One of the most important aspects of white-labeling is setting up your own domain so clients access the platform through your URL.
Domain configuration:
- Register or configure a subdomain (e.g., app.yourcompany.com)
- In GoHighLevel, go to "Settings" > "Domain"
- Click "Add Custom Domain"
- Enter your domain/subdomain
- Configure DNS records as instructed:
- Type: CNAME
- Name: app (or your subdomain)
- Value: domains.gohighlevel.com
6. Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)
7. Click "Verify Domain" in GoHighLevel
Automatic SSL:
GoHighLevel automatically configures SSL for verified domains, ensuring your clients always access via HTTPS.
Custom Login URLs:
Set up specific URLs for different user types:
- app.yourcompany.com/login (end users)
- admin.yourcompany.com/login (administrators)
4. Creating Custom Sub-Account Templates
To speed up delivery to new clients, create pre-configured templates (snapshots) with your visual identity and basic automations.
Ideal template elements:
Basic Settings:
- Logo and colors already applied
- Timezone settings
- Currency and date formats
- Standard integrations active
Essential Automations:
- Welcome workflow
- Basic follow-up sequence
- Appointment scheduling automation
- Internal notifications
Creating the snapshot:
- Set up a model sub-account with all desired elements
- Go to "Settings" > "Snapshots" in the model sub-account
- Click "Create Snapshot"
- Name it "White-Label Template [Version]"
- Select all elements to include:
- Funnels and pages
- Workflows
- Calendars
- Settings
- Email/SMS templates
6. Click "Create"
7. Wait for processing (may take a few minutes)
This template will be your foundation for all new implementations, ensuring consistency and speed in delivery.
