This can be done using CNAME records or giving your users the IP address of your server to add in there DNS records.

How shopify does this -

Shopify gives the IP addresses of there load balancer to the users who wants to connect to their domain to the shopify shop.

The end user (domain owner) need to point there domain to the given Ip address, and you will have to have the virtual host setup at your end to recognise each domain.
