Shopify supports binding your own domain, so we can register a domain ourselves and change the DNS records to access Shopify via our own domain. This article introduces the Shopify domain setup method.
Does Shopify require registering a domain?
By default, Shopify provides a subdomain, and you can access your created Shopify store via this subdomain. However, for branding purposes, we usually choose to point our own domain to Shopify. You can register directly in the Shopify admin, or register from other domain registrars, such as those recommended by Naiba
NameSilo。
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 admin, click on Domains under Online Store, then select Connect existing domain. (If your Shopify admin is in English, just match the icons in the screenshot,
You can set the Shopify admin to Chinese, which does not affect the English display of the front-end 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 use a domain starting with shop. If you are already using 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 DNS record values.
It's uncertain if the DNS 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 DNS management website (usually where you registered the domain), and add the corresponding DNS records. Since we are adding a subdomain (i.e., shop.), we only need to add a CNAME record. The method is as follows: Namesilo DNS setup method (methods for other domain registrars are similar; you can refer to Naibabiji
Domain Topicto view the corresponding article.)
Log in to the Namesilo domain control panel, select Domain Manager, and then click the small map icon for the domain you want to resolve.
Then add a CNAME record. If you are accessing the domain directly without 'www', then you need to add an A record, and fill in the IP address provided by Shopify in the record value field. After setting this up, return to the Shopify interface where you add the domain and verify it. If verification fails, wait a moment and try again, as DNS propagation takes time and is not always immediate. (Usually, most will take effect within tens of minutes.) At this point, your own domain is successfully pointed to Shopify. You can add your Shopify store URL to the navigation bar of your corporate website, allowing customers to access the store from your corporate site.
