Custom Domain Setup

Connect your own domain to your LaunchStore storefront.

Overview

Every store comes with a free subdomain (yourstore.launchstore.io), but you can connect a custom domain like www.yourstore.com for a professional look.

Before You Start

You'll need:

  • A registered domain name (from any registrar)
  • Access to your domain's DNS settings
  • An active LaunchStore store

Connecting Your Domain

Step 1: Add Your Domain

  1. Go to Settings → Domains
  2. Click Add Domain
  3. Enter your domain (e.g., yourstore.com)
  4. Click Verify

Step 2: Configure DNS

Add the following DNS records at your domain registrar:

For root domain (yourstore.com):

TypeNameValue
A@Provided IP address

For www subdomain:

TypeNameValue
CNAMEwwwProvided CNAME target

Step 3: Wait for Propagation

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though most complete within a few hours.

Step 4: Verify

Return to Settings → Domains and click Verify. Once verified, a green checkmark will appear.

Note

We automatically provision and renew SSL certificates for your custom domain at no extra cost.

WWW vs Non-WWW

Choose your preferred format:

We automatically redirect the non-preferred version to your chosen format.

Multiple Domains

You can connect multiple domains to a single store. Set one as the primary domain and others will redirect to it.

Troubleshooting

Domain Not Verifying

  • Double-check DNS records for typos
  • Wait at least 4 hours after DNS changes
  • Ensure no conflicting DNS records exist

SSL Certificate Issues

  • SSL certificates are issued automatically after DNS verification
  • If the padlock doesn't appear, wait up to 24 hours
  • Contact support if issues persist
Warning

If you're transferring from another platform, update DNS records during low-traffic hours to minimize downtime.
