Changing checkout domain to a custom domain

Technical Q&A
1

Hello!

I’ve built an application in Next.js and I am not using the templates. In this case I configured my domain inside Vercel not inside Shopify domain.

Everything works, but the checkout URL still brings the xxxxx.myshopify.com/xxx, is there a way to change that when you are not using themes and no domain registered in the online store?

Thanks

Also having trouble with this. Has anyone managed to solve this?

Hey, sorry that I didn’t post my solution for this issue…

I don’t have a proper solution but I do have a workaround that’s been working fine so far…

I created a sub-domain inside Shopify and named it “checkout.myDomainName.com”

And I pointed out my “storeName.myshopify.com” to this sub-domain above.

So in other words, my new domain when accessing via template (which I am not using) will be “checkout.myDomainName.com” and it will only be displayed when the customer reaches the checkout page (which is held by Shopify) and will look more professional.

Before reaching the checkout page, the customer will see my goDaddy domain “www.myStoreName.com”.

Please let me know if I was clear enough.

Have a good day!

I can’t add subdomains inside shopify (from what I read it’s limited to wholesale channels), but you pointed me in the right direction. I created a subdomain “checkout.{{ myStoreName }}.com” with my hosting provider that points to shopify.

Thank you!
