PRO TIP: If you are considering linking your GoDaddy domain to your Shopify account, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, if you are not careful, you may end up inadvertently linking your Shopify account to a GoDaddy domain that you do not own. This could cause problems with your shop’s DNS settings and could result in your shop being inaccessible. Additionally, if you link your Shopify account to a GoDaddy domain that is already in use, you may overwrite the existing DNS settings and cause problems for the existing website. Be sure to carefully check the DNS settings for both your Shopify account and your GoDaddy domain before proceeding.
