I can't connect my external domain to my store in shopify

Topic summary

Issue: A store owner can’t connect a GoDaddy external domain to a Shopify store; Shopify shows “not connected.” A short video was attached for context.

Proposed steps (from a responder): Use GoDaddy DNS settings to set domain forwarding to the Shopify store URL. Choose “Forward only,” save, and wait up to 24 hours for DNS propagation. Troubleshooting tips: clear browser cache/cookies, verify the domain is added in Shopify (Online Store > Domains) and set as Primary, and check the Shopify status page for service issues.

Follow-up: The owner asked which of two URLs should be used for forwarding (two screenshots attached) and requested further help, but no clarification was provided.

Key terms: DNS (Domain Name System) controls domain and record settings; forwarding redirects a domain to another URL; Primary domain is the main address Shopify uses for the store.

Media: A video and two screenshots are central to clarifying the exact URL choice.

Status: Unresolved. Awaiting guidance on which specific URL to forward to and confirmation that the connection completes after propagation.
