Editing the DNS settings for your Shopify-managed domain

If you have a Shopify-managed domain, then you can access and edit your DNS settings from theDomainspage in your Shopify admin. If your store uses amyshopify.comdomain name, then you need toadd a custom domainbefore you can access your DNS settings. You might need to edit your DNS settings if you're doing the following tasks:

• setting up a third-party email service on your domain
• verifying your domain with a third-party service
• pointing a subdomain to another website

You can access and edit the following DNS records:

• A record
• CNAME record
• MX record
• TXT record
• AAAA record
• SRV record

When you buy your domain through Shopify or transfer a third-party domain to Shopify, the A record and CNAME record for your domain are automatically set to the default DNS records for Shopify. You can have multiple CNAME records associated with your domain, but each one must have a unique name, such aswwworshop. If you want to add MX, TXT, SRV, or AAAA records, then you need to edit the DNS settings for your domain.

Changes to your DNS settings can take up to 24 hours to take effect.
