Hello @felixthecrypt 

It sounds like your domain settings might be misconfigured after connecting Shopify to Squarespace. Here’s what to check and fix:

1. Verify Domain Connection in Shopify
. Go to Shopify Admin > Settings > Domains
. Check if your domain is connected properly (it should not say "Not connected" or "Setup in progress").
2. Check DNS Settings
. If your domain is registered with Shopify, make sure the DNS records match the following:
. A Record: 23.227.38.65 (Shopify’s IP)
. CNAME: shops.myshopify.com
. If it's registered elsewhere (e.g., Squarespace, GoDaddy), update your A Record and CNAME to point to Shopify.
3. Verify Domain with Google
. Go to Google Search Console
. Add your domain and verify ownership (Shopify provides a TXT record for verification).
4. Check for Redirects
If your domain is stuck redirecting to Squarespace, check if Squarespace still has domain control.
You may need to remove the domain from Squarespace or update your DNS records there.
5. Reindex Your Site with Google
. If your site isn’t showing on Google, request indexing in Google Search Console.

If you're still stuck, I can walk you through fixing your DNS settings. Let me know which domain provider you’re using!

Thank you 😊

Hi @felixthecrypt 

The issue might stem from the domain verification process not completing properly, especially since you’ve migrated from Squarespace, which could affect how Google indexes your site.

First, ensure your domain is set as the primary domain in Shopify (under Settings > Domains) and that the DNS settings (like A and CNAME records) are correctly pointing to Shopify’s servers. Sometimes it takes 24-48 hours for these changes to propagate.

If verification is still pending, check Squarespace’s DNS settings to confirm no conflicting records (like old verification codes) are lingering, and remove them if needed. You might also need to verify your domain with Google Search Console using a TXT record or HTML tag method, which can help Google recognize your site
