Hey, @mrdoctor .

Thanks for posting this question!

If you’re looking to connect a domain to a Shopify store, then you can consider one of two options - you can buy a domain from Shopify or you can connect a third-party domain to Shopify. When you purchase a domain from Shopify, the domain will be set up automatically. However, should you require any assistance with connecting a third-party domain, then this is something that your domain provider can help you with.
