Lovable: Buy and Connect Domains from Chat
LovableLovable now lets builders search for, buy, and connect a custom domain directly from a project's chat, instead of using a separate settings panel. Describing the kind of name wanted returns available options with pricing, and picking one continues into checkout; an already-owned domain gets connected instead of purchased. A confirmation card always appears before any purchase or connection completes, and buying is restricted to workspace admins and owners on paid plans.
Key Takeaways
- Domain search happens in chat, with users describing the kind of name they want and Lovable returning available options with pricing right inside the project conversation.
- Existing domains connect the same way: if a user already owns a domain, Lovable offers to connect it instead of pushing a new purchase.
- A confirmation card guards every purchase, appearing before Lovable buys or connects any domain to reduce the risk of accidental charges.
- Status checks are ongoing, not one-time, letting builders ask about a domain's connection status at any point after setup.
- Purchasing is restricted to admins and owners, with only workspace admins and owners on paid plans able to buy a domain through Lovable.
- It builds on Lovable's earlier in-app domain purchasing feature, moving an existing capability into a fully conversational, chat-first flow.
Buying and Connecting Domains Without Leaving the Chat
Lovable rolled out a new way to handle custom domains entirely through its project chat interface, on September 1, 2026. Instead of opening a separate settings panel, builders can now simply describe the domain name they want directly to Lovable's agent inside an active project.
How It Works
When a user tells Lovable the kind of domain name they're looking for, Lovable searches available options and returns a list of choices along with pricing. Picking one carries the user into checkout to complete the purchase. If the user already owns a domain elsewhere, Lovable instead offers to connect that existing domain to the project rather than buying a new one.
Users aren't limited to a single one-time request either: Lovable's agent can be asked about a domain's connection status at any point, giving builders an ongoing way to check in on setup progress without hunting through account settings.
Safeguards on Purchases
Because buying a domain involves real money, Lovable added a confirmation card that always appears before any domain purchase or connection is finalized, reducing the risk of an accidental charge triggered by an ambiguous chat request. Access to the purchasing flow is also restricted: only workspace admins and owners on paid plans can buy a domain through Lovable, keeping billing-affecting actions in the hands of people with account authority.
Why It Matters
This builds on Lovable's existing in-app domain purchasing, launched earlier in 2026, by moving the entire flow into natural-language conversation rather than a dedicated UI. For non-technical builders especially, this removes one more context switch between building the app and shipping it, letting domain setup happen as part of the same conversation used to build the product.
