Domain authentication problem

Store Design
,

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner received a domain authentication notification but found the provided instructions only covered domains purchased elsewhere. Their domain was bought directly through Shopify earlier this year.

Suggested Solutions:

  • One user shared a YouTube tutorial video on authenticating Shopify domains
  • Another explained that Shopify-purchased domains should authenticate automatically, but DNS records (particularly for email) may require manual confirmation
  • Recommended contacting Shopify Support via chat for manual authentication if the process is stuck

Current Status:

  • A follow-up check confirmed the website (Enchantedwoodworkingco.com) is accessible and appears to be functioning properly
  • Unclear whether the authentication issue has been fully resolved or if it’s specifically related to email DNS records rather than site accessibility

I recieved the notification that my domain needs to be authenticated. I clicked on the link but it just gives me steps on how to do it if my domain was purchased elsewhere. I purchased the domain through shopify earlier this year. Can someone help me fix this?

Hi @Tunny15

No worries — since you bought your domain through Shopify, the authentication process should be handled automatically, but sometimes DNS records (for email, especially) still need to be manually confirmed. Reach out to Shopify Support via chat — since your domain was purchased directly through Shopify, they can authenticate it manually if something got stuck.

@Tunny15 May I know if this issue is okay or not until today? As I can access your website properly after testing on my end.
