If you're using a platform like AutoDS or BuildYourStore, here’s what you need to know about setting up or maintaining your Shopify connection.
Important: Don’t Change Nameservers
If your domain has been acquired via AutoDS or BuildYourStore.ai, and you wish to keep your existing Shopify connection, do not update or change your nameservers. Any nameserver change may break the connection with your store.
Need to Verify Your Domain?
In certain cases, Shopify shall ask you to verify your domain. You will need to add the TXT record provided by Shopify to the DNS of your domain name.
Follow these steps to add a TXT Record:
1. Find your domain under Your domains and click the Manage button (you can also search for your domain using the Search icon)
2. Click the DNS tab
3. Select DNS Records under the DNS tab
4. Click the Add new record button
5. Select TXT Records in the dropdown
6. Fill in the fields:
a. Host name: @ or shopify_verification (Enter as displayed in the Shopify admin panel)
b. Value: Paste the TXT value copied from the Shopify admin panel
c. TTL (Time To Live): Set it to Auto
7. Click Save to apply.
Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect due to DNS propagation. For more details, you can refer to our article on How Long Does DNS Propagation Take.
