How to Add a Custom Domain to Your BuildMyStore Web

Adding a custom domain helps you establish a unique identity for your business (e.g., www.yourbrand.com). Follow the steps below to connect your domain to your BuildMyStore website:

1. Step 1: Open Your Store Page

   • Log in to your BuildMyStore dashboard.

   • Click on your store name or icon to open the main store page.

2. Step 2: Open the Menu

   • On the left-hand side of the screen, you'll find a vertical navigation menu.

   • Click on the three-line menu icon (☰) if the menu is collapsed, to expand it.

3. Step 3: Navigate to Store Settings

   • In the menu list, find and click on "Store Setting."

   • This will open all store-level configurations and options.

4. Step 4: Click on General Setting

   • Under the Store Setting section, click on “General Setting.”

   • A new settings interface will appear on the right side of the screen.

5. Step 5: Locate the Custom Domain Field

   • Scroll through the list of settings in the General section.

   • Find the field labeled “Custom Domain.”

   This is where you'll enter the domain name you've purchased (e.g., www.mystore.com).

6. Step 6: Enter Your Domain

   • Click inside the Custom Domain input box.

   • Carefully type your full domain name (include "www" if applicable).

     • Example: www.freshfruitsstore.com

     • Avoid typing incomplete domains like freshfruitsstore or http://

7. Step 7: Click on Apply

   • After entering the domain name, click the “Apply” button next to the field.

   • The system will now attempt to map your domain to your store.

• Success!

  If everything is set correctly (including your DNS settings), your custom domain will be connected to your BuildMyStore site.

• Additional Notes:

  • DNS Settings:

    You must update your domain’s DNS settings from your domain provider’s panel (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).

    • Set the A record to point to BuildMyStore’s IP (you can get this from support if needed).

    • Or, use CNAME to redirect to your store's subdomain.

  • Propagation Time:

    DNS changes may take a few minutes to several hours to reflect globally.
