Tutorial: How to connect your NameBright domain to your Shopify store


This is one of the more common questions our customers ask us, so we've put together these short instructions here:

The whole process has two bigger parts:

  • Part One: On NameBright end: Set the necessary DNS records to point to Shopify
  • Part Two: Add the domain to your Shopify account, i.e. let Shopify know you'll want to use your NameBright domain.


Part One: Set Shopify DNS records

In order to enter DNS records, you will first have to do two things:

  • Set the domain's nameservers to use NameBright's nameservers so that NameBright's DNS Editor can work
  • Enter the DNS records required for Shopify in NameBright's DNS Editor

First, please log into your NameBright account, go to Domain Manager, select your domain, and find the Nameservers tab.

Then click onto "Use NameBright's Nameservers" button as shown on the screenshots below:


and then click Use NameBright's Nameservers:


Now go back one level and find NameBright's DNS Editor at the bottom of the Domain Management page:

  • Scroll down to DNS Records
  • Click Manage DNS Records


When DNS Manager page appears, delete any existing default NameBright records.

After you have removed the default records, enter Shopify's DNS records:

First add the A record:
  • Click Add A record
  • Select "A Address Record" as the type
  • For Subdomain select @ (no subdomain)
  • For IP Address enter: 23.227.38.65
  • Click Add Record

It should look similar to the screenshot below:


Next add the CNAME record:
  • Click Add CNAME Record
  • Select "CNAME Canonical Name" as type
  • For Subdomain enter www
  • For Redirect domain enter shops.myshopify.com
  • Click Add

It should look something like the screenshot below:




At this point you're done with everything on NameBright's end!
Now it's time to go to Shopify and add the domain on their end.
Important note: DNS changes can take a few hours to propagate across the internet. If Shopify still says the domain is not properly connected, please wait a little while and try again.





Part Two: Add the domain to your Shopify account

In short, you just need to go to your Shopify admin panel and:

  • Open Settings
  • Click Domains
  • Click Connect existing domain
  • Enter your domain name

Shopify will then verify the DNS records you entered in Part One.
