Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 3:50 pm

If you’re trying to set up your Shopify account and you’re wondering how to find your DNS, don’t worry – it’s actually a pretty simple process. Just follow these steps and you’ll be up and running in no time.

1. The first thing you need to do is log into your Shopify account. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up for a free trial at www.com.

2. Once you’re logged in, click on the “Domains” link in the left-hand sidebar. This will take you to the page where you can manage all of your domain names.

3. On the Domains page, click on the “Add Domain” button. This will open a popup window where you can enter the domain name that you want to use for your Shopify store.

4. In the popup window, enter your domain name and then click on the “Verify Domain” button. Shopify will then check to see if the domain is available.

5. If the domain is available, you’ll see a message saying that it’s been added to your Shopify account. If it’s not available, you’ll see a message saying that it’s not available and you’ll need to choose a different domain name.

6. Once you’ve found an available domain name, click on the “Set Up Domain” button. This will take you to the page where you can set up your DNS records.

7. On the DNS setup page, you’ll see a list of all of the DNS records that need to be added in order for your domain to work with Shopify. There are four main records that need to be added:

  • Record: This record points your domain name to Shopify’s IP address so that visitors can find your store.
  • CNAME Record: This record allows Shopify to handle all of the traffic for your store.
  • This record allows visitors to find your store even if they type in www..com instead of just .com.
  • This record is used for email forwarding and is only needed if you want to use Shopify’s email forwarding service.

So there you have it! Now you know how to find your DNS settings in Shopify and how to set up your DNS records so that your store can go live.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about how to find your Shopify DNS, please contact your Shopify administrator or technical support. Incorrectly configuring your DNS can result in downtime for your shop or other technical issues.
