Connecting a .JP domain, is email forwarding available? Is SSL cert provided?

I want to use a .JP domain for my shop

1 - Currently Shopify says “cannot buy .JP domains”, is it because my account is trial? With a paying account, can I buy a .JP domain from Shopify admin center?

2 - If not, I’d have to connect my new .JP domain to Shopify - that’s fine - but 2 questions

In this case, is a SSL certificate automatically provided by Shopify?
Does Email forwarding work when a domain is 3rd-party (not purchased via Shopify)?

Thank you

@Bibip Welcome to the Shopify forum. to answer your question, yes, Shopify provides SSL and Email forwarding works even if it’s a 3rd party domain.

Hi thanks but you didn’t answer the first question

1 - Currently Shopify says “cannot buy .JP domains”, is it because my account is trial? With a paying account, can I buy a .JP domain from Shopify admin center?

In other words, can Shopify buy JP domains if I use a payed account?

Ive tried searching for a .jp domain in Shopify Domain, but they are not supported.

But it looks like its possible with a 3rd party domain provider. PLEASE confirm this with Shopify support first.

Note: Make sure to read the Shopify Help Center | Selling in Japan before proceeding.

Best of luck
