Hello, @Yomal_Madushka.

The first thing to check is that you have correctly applied all of the DNS settings needed to redirect a third-party domain to Shopify. The steps are as follows:

• On your domain provider’s website, log in to your account.
• Find the DNS settings or domain management area.
• Change the following records: Point the A record to the Shopify IP address 23.227.38.65.
• If necessary, change the Host name to the @ symbol.
• Delete any other A records on the domain if there are any present.
• Point the CNAME record with the name www to shops.myshopify.com.
  
  

Once you are sure these are 100% correct, you will have to wait up to 48 hours before the connection is live. You can continue to use your .myshopify.com domain during this time if you wish to ensure access to your store is still working. I hope this helps!
