How to connect your domain to Shopify through a CNAME record.
For example:
My primary domain is:
zermelomusic.com
But that already has a website attached...
So I want to create a subdomain and direct that subdomain to Shopify. That subdomain is...
shop.zermelomusic.com
To do this, I need to create a CNAME record with my domain provider. In my case, that's A2 hosting.
So in A2, I need to create a CNAME record with zermelomusic.com and I need to add to following:
(1) A valid zone name. For me that is "shop" (my subdomain name)
(2) I need to select what record I want to create. For me that's a CNAME record
(3) I need to point that CNAME record to Shopify.
Once I save and complete those steps, I then need to verify that domain on Shopify.
It can take a few hours. So don't freak out if you get an error message after going through these steps.
But that's it!

Hey Michael love your video btw, I was just wondering,why does your domain settings not showing the dns settings where we can add details for 3rd party email hosting like zoho mail and gsuite.

Thanks for the vid! When I do this my nav does not properly add the pages with the right template. Did you notice this? If so did you find a work around?

[@agenciapiscis5335]

thanks!

[@anujshaan1006]

does subdomain need charges? or they are free of cost if I have main domain already purchased?
