Connecting your own custom domain to your online store is a crucial step in establishing a strong brand identity and creating a more professional online presence. This guide will walk you through the process of connecting your custom domain to your HitPay Online Store. Before you begin, ensure that you have already purchased a custom domain from a domain registrar service of your choice.

Please note that the steps outlined below may vary slightly depending on the domain registrar service you use.

Steps to Setup

To connect your custom domain to your HitPay Online Store, follow these simple steps:

• Log in to your HitPay Online Store admin panel.
• Navigate to Online Shop > Domain.
• Enter your custom domain.

Now, you’ll need to modify your DNS records within your domain registrar account. The exact steps may differ depending on your domain registrar service, but the general process involves updating the DNS settings to point to your HitPay Online Store. Here are the basic steps to follow:

• Log in to your domain registrar account.
• Find the option to manage your domain or access your DNS settings.
• Modify DNS records.
  • Type CNAME Record: Create a new CNAME record and set the value to hitpay-store.fly.dev

It’s important to note that DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet. This process can take up to 48 hours, during which your custom domain may not be immediately accessible. Be patient as the changes take effect.

FAQs

Can I use only my subdomain like `shop.mydomain.com` for the store and keep my existing website intact?

Yes, you can use a subdomain like shop.mydomain.com exclusively for your HitPay store while keeping your existing website intact. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your domain registrar account (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
2. Find the option to manage your DNS settings.
3. Create a CNAME record for your desired subdomain (e.g., shop) and point it to hitpay-store.fly.dev
   • Type = CNAME
   • Name = shop
   • Value = hitpay-store.fly.dev
4. Save your DNS changes. By creating a CNAME record, you’re directing traffic from your subdomain to your HitPay store, ensuring that it functions as a separate online store while leaving your main website unaffected. Customers can access your store by entering shop.mydomain.com, and your existing website remains intact. Keep in mind that DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet, so it may not be immediately accessible. Please be patient during this process.
