Connect your third-party domain to Shopify automatically

If you purchased your domain from GoDaddy or IONOS, then you can connect your domain to Shopify automatically.

To complete this procedure, you need to have your login information for your third-party domain provider account.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Domains.

2. Click Connect existing domain.

3. Enter your domain, such as example.com, and then click Next.

4. Click Connect automatically.

5. Log in to your GoDaddy or IONOS account, if necessary.

6. Click Connect, and then click Close.

It might take up to 48 hours for your domain to be verified. After it's verified, your domain is listed in the THIRD-PARTY DOMAINS section of the Domains page with the status Connected.

If you have trouble setting up your domain automatically, then try to connect it manually from within your third-party domain provider account.
