Setting Up a Custom Domain

To set up a custom domain for your eStore:

1. Log into your dashboard.

2. 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.
