Point your domain to your Shopify store, so customers can reach it at your own address. Your email keeps working.
In Shopify
- Add your domain in Shopify
In Shopify admin, go to Settings › Domains › Connect existing domain, and type your domain.
- Choose to connect it manually
Shopify shows the records to add. Keep that page open.
- Add the records with us
Add the records below where your domain’s DNS lives.
- Verify in Shopify
Go back to Shopify and click Verify connection.
The records to add
Shopify shows the exact records for your site. Copy them exactly. They usually look like this:
| Type | Name / Host | Points to |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ |
23.227.38.65 |
| CNAME | www |
shops.myshopify.com |
Leave your MX records and anything else alone. Then your email, and anything else on your domain, keeps working exactly as it is.
Where to add the records
Add them where your domain’s DNS lives: the client area’s DNS Management if you’re on ns3 and ns4, cPanel’s Zone Editor if you’re on our hosting nameservers, or your DNS provider (such as Cloudflare). Not sure? See Where to edit your DNS.
Set these records to DNS only (grey cloud), not proxied, unless the platform tells you otherwise. Otherwise the platform can’t issue its SSL certificate.
Send us the records the platform shows you, by chat or ticket, and we’ll add them.
How long it takes
Usually under an hour, sometimes up to 24 hours. Shopify checks the records and then turns on SSL for your site by itself.
