How to connect your own domain to your online store
Step 1: Enter your domain
In Online Store > Storefront, find Custom Domain. Type your domain in Your Domain - the main domain only, like mystore.com; www is set up automatically. Press Connect Domain.
Step 2: Change your nameservers
ChecKmate shows you 2 nameservers. Sign in where you bought your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap and so on), find the nameserver settings for the domain, and replace the existing nameservers with these two.
Step 3: Verify
Back in ChecKmate, press Verify Now - or just wait, it checks every 30 seconds. The status changes from Pending Nameservers to Active. The secure padlock (SSL) is set up for you, and it is usually live within 5-15 minutes (sometimes up to 24 hours).
Good to know
- Your booking link and store links switch to your domain once it is active.
- If you use email on the domain, check with us before switching nameservers so your email settings come across.
- Press Remove Domain to go back to your ChecKmate store address.
