Hi, @yvessaintlondon !

 

Thanks for reaching out to us about this. It could really be a number of things so first I'll get you to click Online Store > Domains and see what the current status of the domain looks like. Does the domain say Connected, Not Connected, or Action Required?

 

If it say's Not Connected, you'll want to make sure your DNS settings are pointed to ShopifyIf you've purchased your domain through a third party, then you need to edit the following DNS settings:

  • Your A record should point to Shopify's IP address, which is 23.227.38.65
  • Your www CNAME record should point to shops.myshopify.com

If the domain says Action Required, click on it and follow the instruction provided in the admin. Often times it's related to email verification. You may see a yellow banner that allows you to resend the verification email. If this is what you see, go ahead and resend the email, and follow the prompts found in said email.

 

If you have more information, error message or specifications on the issues you're seeing, feel free to pass it along here and we can continue to troubleshoot together!

Hi, @moh07 !

Are you still having trouble with this? If so, I'd be happy to help. I'll just need the domain name in question so I can run a DIG and see what all of the domain settings look like. From there, we can take a look at what steps might be best to take next!

All the best!

Oliver,

 

I have been experiencing issues with connecting my existing domain at GoDaddy. After speaking with their staff, they indicated that my DNS settings are functioning properly and propagating on their end. However, whenever I attempt to verify, Shopify throws an error indicating that my A and CNAME settings are blank, which is not the case as indicated in my screenshots and confirmed at the links below.

https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/cyptoclothes.com

Can you help me understand if there are issues on Shopify's end that are preventing verification?

 

Thank you,

Jack

Thanks

I STARTED THIS TRIAL SESSION AND FOLLOWED A FEW SETUP TUTORIALS. I REACHED THE STEP FOR PURCHASING MY DOMAIN THROUGH SHOPIFY. I CHOSE MY DOMAIN, AND PAYMENT WAS SUCCESSFULLY PROCESSED. I RECEIVED AN ERROR SCREEN ON SHOPIFY, BUT ALSO RECEIVED A CONFIRMATION/VERIFICATION EMAIL FOR THE PURCHASE OF MY DOMAIN. ITS BEEN ABOUT A WEEK AND I STILL DONT SEE MY DOMAIN AVAILABLE TO ME ON SHOPIFY TO UTILIZE.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I EVEN PURCHASED A SHOPIFY PLAN BEFORE MY TRIAL ENDS IN HOPES THAT MAY GET IT TO WORK...NOTHING. HOW DO I FIX THIS?

Hello @trendzymart 

Glad to help you today.

 

This error indicates the domain may have set up on another store. 

 

For example, you may have signed up in the past, added a domain to your store, closed your Shopify account but forget to remove your domain. 

 

To resolve this situation you’ll need to contact Shopify Support with the following details: 

 

  • Your physical, or postal address
  • Your Shopify account email address
  • The last four digits of the credit card you are using with Shopify 
  • Proof of purchase for the domain you would like to use. This could be a screenshot with your name and the domain name from the domain registration account or an email receipt is needed for verification)

After gathering this information contact Shopify Support via email, or phone using the contact details listed on this page here so the team can help you out.

 

I hope the above is useful to you.
Best regards,
GemPages Support Team

Hi, I also have a question about getting a new one! When I click on the buy now button, I get redirected to the checkout page. However Shopify doesn't let me check out because the domain "Can not contain special characters"... All Characters is the given domain are from the alphabet so I was wondering how I can fix that!

Thanks!!

Hi,
I have issues with domain I recon. So after hourse to fixing I gave up. Bought another domain connected to my account and received this:

Multiple issue with domain . . .

  • Error fetching domain CAA record: Open your domain provider's DNS settings for bodynflow.co and check that the record is set correctly. Note that record updates can take up to 48 hours to come into effect.
  • Error fetching domain DNSSEC record: Open your domain provider's DNS settings for bodynflow.co and check that the record is set correctly. Note that record updates can take up to 48 hours to come into effect.
  • Error fetching domain nameserver record: Open your domain provider's DNS settings for bodynflow.co and check that the record is set correctly. Note that record updates can take up to 48 hours to come into effect.




Any ideas how to sort this out? PLease
Thanks

I promise this issue was never resolved. The company had no clue what to actually do when this issue hit which looks like it’s 100% of the time…

Shopify doesn’t want to fix the issue because then they can take credit for your website…
