Why isn't my domain verifying on the new store?

Topic summary

Issue: Domain glowfestive.com won’t verify on a new Shopify store, showing “The connection of glowfestive.com is not yet verified. Come back later to retry verification.”

What’s been done:

  • A record set to 23.227.38.65.
  • CNAME set to shops.myshopify.com.
  • Domain removed from the old store.

Latest update:

  • A new message appears (shared via screenshot), and the owner reiterates the A record is already set. The screenshot content is central but not fully described in text.

Context:

  • The domain appears to be managed/previously used with Squarespace.

Community feedback:

  • Verification/DNS changes can take time; asked how long it’s been in progress.
  • If the Squarespace domain is no longer being used there, consider transferring the domain to Shopify to simplify connection.

Status/outcome:

  • No confirmed resolution. Verification remains pending.
  • Open questions: exact error from the latest screenshot; how long DNS has been propagating; whether the domain will be transferred or left with the current provider.
