All things Shopify and commerce
I am trying to verify my domain. My domain is through GoDaddy. GoDaddy says I need to gain DNS records and add those records on GoDaddy. How do I recover DNS records from basic shopify account?

Hi there, @John_robert2022! Firstly let me say welcome to Shopify, and congrats on your new store!
The good news is that setting up and verifying a domain is a simple enough thing to do, I will walk you through the steps below. You mentioned DNS settings above, and you are right that setting up and verifying your domain is done via editing the DNS settings. As your domain was purchased via GoDaddy, you will have to access your GoDaddy dashboard to edit the DNS settings for this domain. Here are the steps:
23.227.38.65
.@
symbol.shops.myshopify.com
.Once you have completed this, the next steps are:
johns-apparel.info
, and then click Next.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. A really useful video walking through all of these steps can be seen here. I hope this helps!
How are you finding Shopify so far? Do you have your store set up exactly as you'd like it? Is there anything I can help or advise on?

Hi,
To connect your domain to Shopify, please read the Shopify Help article below (for automatic setup).
https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/domains/add-a-domain/connecting-domains/connect-domain-automatic
If you want to connect manually, please follow the steps below.
1. Go to GoDaddy Domain Control Center at
https://sso.godaddy.com/login?app=dcc&path=%2fdomains%3fshowAdvanceListView%3dtrue&auth_reason=1
Add A Record & CNAME
They are located on different pages in GoDaddy (Find a correct page to add or modify the record).
Add A Record @ 23.227.38.65
Add CNAME @ shops.myshopify.com
You may need to use the @ symbol or not (follow the instruction on GoDaddy)
You don't have to enter any other information.
After you entered (add or modify) the records on GoDaddy, go back to Shopify Admin > Settings > Domain
Then verify your domain.
You should be connected.
However, if you got any errors or warnings, your records on GoDaddy is not correct.
You can modify the records (A Record & CNAME) at any time on GoDaddy. So, don't worry and try it until it works.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi @John_robert2022,
Since you purchased your domain from GoDaddy then you can connect your domain to Shopify automatically by following this guide.
If you have trouble setting up your domain automatically, then try to connect it manually from within your GoDaddy account. The DNS records are mentioned in this guide.
Please note that it might take up to 48 hours for your domain to be verified.
If you need help with pointing your domain to your Shopify store, then contact GoDaddy’s support team for further assistance.
I hope it helps.
This is an accepted solution.
