Connect Existing Domain
Set up your existing domain to connect to Shopify
If 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
23.227.38.32
-
Your CNAME record should point to
shops.myshopify.com
-
Log in to the account you have with your domain provider.
-
Find your DNS settings. Look for your domain management area, DNS configuration, or similar.
-
Edit your A record to point to Shopify's IP address

- enter or choose the @ symbol, or A record
- enter Shopify's IP address
23.227.38.32
Copy as the destination for the A record.
-
Save the A Record (click Save, Save Zone File, Add Record, or similar).
-
Find the CNAME record in your DNS settings.

Change your
