Did you purchase a domain from GoDaddy and want to connect it to your shop? This step-by-step guide will help you through the process.

The setup process varies depending on your domain type. First, select the type of domain you are using.

### Domain Type

## Top-Level Domain (e.g., shop.com)

If you want to connect your own top-level domain, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Access Your Domain’s DNS Settings

Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to the **Domain** section. Select the domain you want to use and click **Manage DNS**.

### Step 2: Delete the A Record

The DNS page for your domain will open. Locate the A Record, as shown in the screenshot. This record is not needed for this configuration. Note it down just in case you need to restore it later, then delete it.

### Step 3: Create a CNAME Record

Click **Add New Record** and select **CNAME** as the type. For a top-level domain, set the name to **www**. Enter **sites.tentary.com** as the value and click **Save**. Your domain is now connected to your shop.

### Step 4: Set Up URL Forwarding

Next, set up URL forwarding to ensure all your pages open correctly. Click the **Forwarding** button, then click **Add Forwarding** under **Domain**.

A pop-up will appear where you can enter your full URL. In the first field, select **https://**, and in the following field, enter your domain including **www**. For example, use **[www.shop.com](http://www.shop.com)**, replacing **shop.com** with your actual domain.

> **Note:** It can take up to 24 hours for your site to become accessible after setup.

### Step 5: Connecting your shop

Once you have completed the previous steps in GoDaddy, you can connect your Tentary Shop to your domain. To do this, open your store's [domain settings](https://app.tentary.com/shop/domain), select **Custom Domain** and enter your full domain, starting with www, in the **URL** field.

After you have clicked on **Save**, the status of your domain will be displayed next to the URL.

## Subdomain (e.g., shop.website.com)

If you want to connect your own subdomain, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Access Your Subdomain’s DNS Settings

Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to the **Domain** section. Select the domain you want to use and click **Manage DNS**.

### Step 2: Create a CNAME Record

Click **Add New Record** and select **CNAME** as the type. In the name field, enter your subdomain. For the example **shop.website.com**, you would enter **shop**. Enter **sites.tentary.com** as the value and click **Save**. Your subdomain is now linked to your shop.

> **Note:** It can take up to 24 hours for your site to become accessible through your domain.

### Step 3: Connecting your shop

Once you have completed the two previous steps in GoDaddy, you can connect your Tentary Shop to your subdomain. To do this, open your store's [domain settings](https://app.tentary.com/shop/domain), select **Custom Domain** and enter your subdomain, **without** www, in the **URL** field.
