How do I connect my domain to Shopify?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 2:12 am

There are a few different ways to connect your domain to Shopify. The first option is to use a service like DNSimple.

This service will help you set up a custom DNS record that points your domain to Shopify. Once you have registered for DNSimple and set up your domain, all you need to do is add a new DNS record to your domain that points to Shopify’s IP address.

The second option is to use an app like Shopify Connect. This app will help you connect your Shopify account to your domain.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Shopify or website hosting, connecting your domain to Shopify could result in your website becoming unavailable. We recommend that you seek out professional help to ensure that your domain is properly connected to Shopify.

Once you have installed the app and configured it, you will need to add a new domain to the app. Once you have added your domain, you will need to provide Shopify with the name of your domain and the port that your domain is hosted on.

The final option is to use a hosting provider like Bluehost. Bluehost will help you set up a custom domain and Shopify account on their servers.

Once you have set up your account and domain with Bluehost, all you need to do is enter the details of your Shopify account into the Bluehost control panel.
