How to connect your domain to Shopify

Want to link your domain to your Shopify store? We can do that! Before we begin, you will need to add your domain to Shopify.  This article from the Shopify help center will show you how. 

Next, you can use our Quick Connect feature to link your Shopify site to your domain.

In the Quick DNS Config section, select the "Shopify" button.

A pop-up will appear asking if you want to reconfigure your domain's DNS records. Select the blue "OK" button to continue.

A success message will appear, letting you know that we were able to update your DNS records. You should now see your DNS records successfully updated to the Shopify DNS under Current Records.

That's it! You have connected your domain to Shopify. It can take up to 48 hours for these changes to go through. You will also want to verify your connection in Shopify.  This article from the Shopify help center gives you further instructions: 

"Click Verify Connection in your Shopify admin to confirm that your custom domain has been connected to your store."

Depending on how you have things configured on Shopify, they may require you to add one more DNS record to verify your ownership of the domain. The instructions for finding and adding that record can be found on this guide from Shopify's site.

You'll need to copy the information that they provide you and create a new DNS record on Porkbun. That record should look something like this after you create it:

If you're not sure how to create a new DNS record, you can use this guide as a reference. Once that record is added and propagated, Shopify should detect it and automatically finish connecting and initializing your domain within 24 hours.
