Is there a way to set the DNS TTL to something other than 86400? That’s a terribly long time. I’m waiting for an MX record to propagate and was surprised to see the TTL is so high. I’d like to avoid long name record propagation in the future.
Topic summary
Users are encountering a fixed DNS TTL (Time To Live) of 86,400 seconds (24 hours) and want to reduce it for faster DNS propagation, particularly for MX records and other DNS changes.
Key Issues:
- The default TTL is set to 24 hours, which users find excessively long
- No option exists to manually adjust or lower the TTL value
- One user confirmed through Shopify’s chat support that the platform does not provide functionality to edit TTL for any DNS records
Current Status:
The discussion remains unresolved with no workaround identified. Users are seeking solutions to avoid lengthy propagation delays for future DNS record updates.

I could not find to SET the TTL value as well. By default it assigned 24hours.
I have the same issue here. I’m trying to edit the TTL for a lower time but shopify doesn’t let me do it. I spoke with their chat support and they plainly mentioned that shopify doesn’t have such an option to edit TTL of any DNS records. Let me know how you solved it.
