Hydrogen Storefront - Checkout domain equal to storefront domain

[davfru]

Hi,

I have a hydrogen storefront hosted on Netlify at myowndomain.com

Is there any way to set the checkout domain (currently set to shopname.myshopify.com) equal to myowndomain.com?

Thank you.

What's the primary domain set up on the shop?
If you added something like checkout.myowndomain.com as primary it should use that instead of defaulting to the myshopify.

Hi Jason! Yes, I assigned the subdomain checkout.myowndomain.com as primary domain of the online store and myowndomain.com as the primary domain of my hydrogen store.

Thank you.

Hi, where do you configure that?  I went to Domains -> Primary for Online Store and saw no option to edit these.

I am having the same problem - there's no option to edit those domains for me.

@znwhite did you manage to set custom domain? 

[kgawron]

@Jason I cannot fully edit online store domain. I am able to add first part before `.myshopify.com`. `.myshopify.com` is obligatory.
I would like to have checkout url like: checkout.myowndomain.com without .myshopify.com. How to achieve it?

Hey @kgawron.

Thanks for reaching out. 

You can purchase a domain directly from the Shopify store by navigating to Domains > Buy New Domain to add your own custom domain. With that being said, you are unable to make changes to the checkout URL when customers navigate to complete their purchase unless you are using the Shopify Plus subscription. However, I can certainly see the benefit creating a unique checkout URL for your customers to complete their purchase - I am going to provide this as a suggestion to our developers. We appreciate you reaching out with this feedback as this is how we can improve the platform for all merchants. 

Let us know if you have any questions.

Gatekeeping the checkout url behind a $20k+ subscription is pure evil. Why punish people for using your hydrogen/oxygen platform?

and hes retired so no follow up. what a stupid idea, why put custom checkouts behind such an expensive subscription? Makes the site look sus
