Connecting a Wix domain to Shopify

If you purchased a domain from Wix and want to use it on a Shopify store without moving the hosting to Shopify, then this guide will help you manually connect your Wix domain to Shopify.

Step 1: Log in to your Wix account

1. Open a new browser tab, and then log in to your Wix account.
2. Go to Account Settings > Domains > > Manage DNS records.

   

Step 2: Update the A records

Note: An A record is required only when connecting the root domain (for example, shopify.com). If you're connecting a subdomain (for example, shop.shopify.com), then you only need to configure a CNAME record.

1. Delete the existing A (Host) records. If you need these, then ensure you save them.
2. Click Add record.
3. Leave Host name blank.
4. In Value, enter 23.227.38.65.
5. Leave the TTL as 1 Hour.
6. Click Save.

   

Step 3: Update the CNAME records

1. In CNAME (Aliases), click Edit.

   

2. In the Host name field, enter www.
3. In the Value field, enter shops.myshopify.com.
4. Click Save.

   

Step 4: Connect your domain to Shopify

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Domains.

2. Click Connect existing.

3. Type the name of the domain that you want to connect, and then click Next.

Step 5: Additional verification for your Shopify domain

As an additional security measure, your domain might require extra verification. This extra verification requires you to create a TXT record on the domain.

Steps:

1. In your Wix tab, click Account Settings > Domains > > Manage DNS records.
2. In the TXT (Text) section, click Add Record.

   

3. In a new tab, from your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Domains, and then click the domain that you're verifying.
4. Locate the New value, and then click the copy icon.
5. Return to your Wix tab, and then, in the Host name field, enter shopify_verification.
6. In the Value field, paste the New value from Shopify.
7. Click Save.

   

8. Go back to your Shopify admin tab, and then click I updated DNS records.
