Shopify supports binding your own domain for use. Therefore, we can register a domain ourselves and then change the domain resolution to access Shopify via our own domain. This article introduces the method for setting up a Shopify domain.
Do you need to register a domain for Shopify?
By default, Shopify provides a subdomain, and you can access your created Shopify store through this subdomain. However, for branding purposes, we usually choose to point our own domain to Shopify. You can register directly in the Shopify Admin Dashboard, or register from other domain registrars, such as the one recommended by Naiba.

Shopify Domain Setup Tutorial
Let's go step-by-step to set up accessing your Shopify store via your own domain. 1. Log in to your Shopify store's Admin Dashboard, click on 'Domains' under 'Online Store', then select 'Connect existing domain'. (If your Shopify Admin Dashboard is in English, just match the icons in the screenshot).
You can set the Shopify Admin Dashboard to Chinese, which does not affect the English display of the Frontend website).
2. In the pop-up interface, enter your own domain. There are two scenarios when adding a domain here: you can directly enter a domain with www. or without www., or you can use a domain starting with shop. If you have already used a www. URL
to build a corporate WordPress website, then it is recommended to enter a shop. domain here. For example, the Shopify test site URL for Naibabiji is: https://shopify.naibabiji.com/
3. Click 'View instructions' to get the domain resolution record values.
It's uncertain if the resolution record values are the same for everyone. Please use the data you see as the standard; just look at the section below.
4. Go to your domain resolution website (usually where you registered the domain, go there to resolve it) and add the corresponding resolution records. Since we are adding a Subdomain (i.e., shop.), we only need to add a CNAME record. The method is as follows: Namesilo resolution method (other domain registrar methods are similar; you can refer to Naibabiji
Domain Topicto view the corresponding article.)
Log in to the Namesilo domain Control Panel, select Domain Manager, then click the small globe icon for the domain you want to resolve.
Then add a CNAME record. If you are using a domain without www. for direct access, then you add an A record, and fill in the IP address provided by Shopify in the record value. After setting it up, return to the Shopify interface for adding the domain and verify. If verification fails, wait a moment and try again, as domain resolution takes time to propagate and may not be immediate. (Usually, most will propagate within tens of minutes.) At this point, pointing your own domain to Shopify is set up. You can add your Shopify store URL to the navigation bar of your corporate website, allowing customers to access the store website from your corporate website.
