Can I Use My Own Domain With Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:30 pm

You can use your own domain with Shopify, and it’s a fairly easy process. You’ll need to purchase a domain from a domain registrar such as GoDaddy or Hover, and then set up DNS records with your registrar. Once that’s done, you can add your domain to your Shopify store from the Admin panel.

Shopify is a powerful ecommerce platform that allows you to sell online. One of the great things about Shopify is that you can use your own domain name. This gives you more control over your brand, and it makes it easier for customers to find your store.

PRO TIP: If you are using a custom domain with Shopify, you may experience issues with your DNS settings. We recommend that you use a subdomain (e.g. shop.mydomain.com) for your Shopify store, and leave your custom domain’s DNS settings unchanged.

If you don’t have a domain name yet, you’ll need to purchase one from a domain registrar such as GoDaddy or Hover. Once you have your domain name, you’ll need to set up DNS records with your registrar. These records will tell Shopify where to find your website.

Once DNS is configured, you can add your domain to Shopify from the Admin panel. In the Domain section of the Admin panel, click Add Domain.

Enter your domain name and select the option to Use my domain with Shopify. Click Save, and you’re ready to start using your own domain with Shopify!
