How can I connect to an existing domain on a website?

Dear Client support team,

I would like to buy products from omyeyes.com but do not manage to connect to the website. I need to go through your shopify website and I do not see where I can connect to this domain. It is like all is done for me to create a domain and that is not what I want. How can I get through it?

Thanks a lot

Hey, @Sandrinepires ! Welcome to Shopify Community!

Do you wish to use the domain omyeyes.com for your store? If you’ve purchased it in your admin or if it’s a third-party domain and you’ve already updated its DNS records, you can connect the domain through the Domains page in your admin. Feel free to follow the steps below to do this.

  1. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Domains.

  2. Click Connect existing domain.

  3. Type in your domain name in the text box.

  4. Click Next.

  5. To confirm that your domain is connected to your Shopify store, click Verify connection.

Please note it may take up to 48 hours for a domain to be verified and connected. Your domain will appear on the Domains page with a Connected status if your domain has the correct DNS records.

After you connect your domain, don’t forget to set up your email and register for email hosting. With email hosting, you can have a professional custom email that reflects your domain (e.g. info@omyeyes.com). A custom email is highly beneficial for your business as it can build consistent branding and trust. You can sign up with an email hosting platform such as Zoho Mail or Google Workspace.
