How do I link my domain name to Shopify?

Using the steps in this article we’ll show you how you can connect your DomainsFoundry domain to your Shopify site.

Steps

  1. Set Shopify to use your custom domain

  1. Open DomainsFoundry Dashboard and go to My Domains. Select the domain you want to connect to Shopify.
  2. From the menu, click DNS.
  3. Click the Edit icon next to your root A record — this has @ for the name.
  4. Set the Value to 23.227.38.65 and click Save.
  5. Click the Edit icon next to your AAAA record (also with @ for the name).
