Article Summary

In this article, we go through how to set up your domain with your online store on our platform.

What is a domain? 

A domain is the address you use to connect your website to the internet. For example, "mystore.no" is a domain name.

When you activate an online store with us, the store is assigned an internal Mystore name. For example, this internal name might be "minbutikk.mystore4.no," where "store name" is the name that you entered when you created the demo store. Before you've connected your own domain name to your online store, this internal name is used to view your store and log into your control panel to make changes.

To fix your domain, you'll need help from a domain provider. Once you own a domain and have connected it to our IP addresses, you can use it. The process for linking your domain varies depending on your domain provider, but usually it involves setting up CNAME and A records with specific values. After you've set up your domain, it can take up to 24 hours for everything to be set up correctly. If the domain is not marked as "TLS" within 24 hours, you should contact support for assistance.

Do you have an existing online store or service on your domain?

If you have an existing online store or service on your domain that you are moving from, it is very important that you reduce TTL on the domain so that users experience minimal disruption to the transition. If you do not know how to do this, we recommend that you contact your domain provider for assistance.

Can I have my online store on a subpage, e.g. /shop/?

Unfortunately, we do not support webshops on subpages (e.g. /shop/). Instead, we recommend creating your online store on a subdomain, such as "butikk.butikknavn.no".

Add your domain to your online store's control panel

To connect a domain to your store, it needs to specify what the domain for your store is. You do this in the control panel via Configuration > Domain Name. The domain must be registered without a WWW in front, but if a subdomain is used, e.g. shop.butikknavn.no, this must be specified.

This process is recommended and done in a period of time with the least amount of traffic for established online stores.

NOTE!- Certificate will not be immediately available and the domain cannot be set as the primary domain. This process can take up to 24 hours, if the domain is not marked as TLS within 24 hours, please contact Customer Support.

Create domain pointers with your domain provider

This setup is the same regardless of which domain provider you use, but the interface of the providers will vary. If you can't find your way around, we recommend contacting your domain provider for help. Below you will find the setup of the most used domain providers among our customers.

Set the domain as the primary domain in the control panel of your online store

Once the CNAME and A record are set up it will take some time before this is pushed out around the world, this can vary greatly. Normally this will take about 4 hours.

Before you can set the domain as the primary domain, it must be a certificate, which we automatically issue within 24 hours of the domain being pointed to us. The domain will be marked as TLS when this is in order. You are then ready to go in your online store Control Panel -> Configuration -> Domain name and set the domain as "Primary domain".

This is necessary to get the links in your online store to point correctly.
