Custom Domain Management
The "Custom Domain" management feature allows eStore owners to personalize their store's URL, enhancing brand identity and customer trust. Here’s a guide for utilizing this feature effectively:
Establish Your Brand with a Custom Domain
Personalize your eStore with a custom domain, setting your business apart with a professional web address.
Setting Up a Custom Domain
To set up a custom domain for your eStore:
Log into your dashboard.
Navigate to 'Custom Domain' in the sidebar menu.
Before You Begin
Make sure you have a domain name registered through a domain registrar (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy).
You'll need to configure DNS settings in your domain registrar account by adding the provided CNAME and A records.
These DNS records link your domain to the eStore, making your site accessible at your custom domain.
DNS Configuration
CNAME Record: For the 'www' version of your site, point it to
estores.app
.A Record: Direct the Apex domain (yourdomain.com) to the provided IP address if using services like Cloudflare.
Custom Domain Requests
After updating DNS settings, submit your custom domain request through your eStore dashboard.
The system will verify the DNS configurations and connect your custom domain to your eStore.
Unique Feature Highlight
This customization feature is not just a technical setup but a transformation of your eStore's brand.
A unique domain name builds brand recognition and establishes a professional online presence.
It enhances SEO and marketing efforts, as a custom domain is more memorable and sharable.
After Submission
Keep track of your custom domain request status in the dashboard.
Once approved, your eStore will be accessible at the new custom domain.
Best Practices for Custom Domains
Choose a domain name that is easy to spell, memorable, and reflects your brand.
Regularly check your domain's renewal dates to avoid lapses in service.
Use your new domain in marketing materials and customer communications for consistent branding.
