Use your own domain for your online store
Connect the domain you already own at no additional charge from ShopNx. Your customers see your name in the address bar.
How to connect your domain
- Sign in at the company where you bought your domain, and open its DNS settings.
- Add or change the A record so that it points to 72.60.223.83.
- In your ShopNx admin, open the domain settings and add your domain.
- Open your domain in a browser to check that your store appears.
| Type | Name or host | Value or points to |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ (your main domain) | 72.60.223.83 |
Before you change anything
If your domain already runs a website, changing the A record moves visitors to your ShopNx store. Set up your store first. Email on the domain uses separate MX records, so leave those as they are.
Don't have a domain yet?
Buy one from any domain registrar. A good store domain is:
- short enough to say out loud in a reel or over the phone;
- easy to spell, without numbers or hyphens if you can avoid them;
- your brand name, not a list of what you sell, so it still fits when your range grows.
The registrar charges you for the name, usually once a year, and ShopNx has no part in that cost. It is one of the few costs outside the ShopNx fee.
Questions sellers ask
Does a custom domain cost extra on ShopNx?
Connecting your domain to ShopNx costs nothing extra. Buying and renewing the domain name is paid to the company you bought it from.
Why is my domain not working yet?
DNS changes can take some time to reach every network. Check that the A record has the right address, wait a while, and try again.
Can I keep the domain if I leave ShopNx?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name with your registrar. Point its A record somewhere else and it goes with you.
