Why is my domain still redirecting after Shopify's email notification?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Issue: After Shopify emailed that the redirect from allmessy.myshopify.com to allmessy.com was disabled, the subdomain still appeared to redirect. The goal is to connect allmessy.com to the Shopify store without a 7–10 day transfer and remove a paid GoDaddy splash/forwarding setup.

Latest updates: A responder verified the redirect is now removed and allmessy.myshopify.com loads directly. Another noted allmessy.com currently shows a GoDaddy page, indicating the domain isn’t yet connected to Shopify.

Guidance provided:

  • No transfer required. Connect the existing GoDaddy domain to Shopify via Admin > Settings > Domains (automatic GoDaddy login to update DNS), or edit DNS manually on GoDaddy.
  • This replaces forwarding/splash pages and lets allmessy.com show the Shopify store; set allmessy.com as the primary domain.
  • DNS propagation is usually fast (often within an hour), but can take up to 24 hours.

Status: Redirect issue appears resolved. Remaining action is to connect allmessy.com to Shopify via DNS and make it the main domain; the thread provides official guides for automatic or manual setup.

Hi @rsburnam1 ,

As for connecting your domain to your Shopify account, you don’t necessarily need to transfer your domain to Shopify, which can indeed take 7-10 days. A more straightforward solution is to simply connect your existing domain (allmessy.com) to your Shopify store. Shopify has a comprehensive guide on how to do this, which you can find here. This guide will walk you through the steps to connect your domain hosted by another provider (like GoDaddy) to your Shopify store. This way, you can bypass the splash page and have allmessy.com directly showcase your Shopify store, enhancing your brand consistency and user experience.

Let me know if you need more help with this process!
