How to Connect a Custom Domain to Your Storemantis Site

So you’ve set up your online store on StoreMantis and now you want to connect a custom domain to make it truly your own. Connecting a custom domain to your StoreMantis site is a great way to establish a professional online presence and reinforce your brand identity. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to connect a custom domain to your StoreMantis site.

Step 1: Purchase a Domain Name

The first step in connecting a custom domain to your StoreMantis site is to purchase a domain name. You can register a new domain name through a domain registrar or use an existing domain name that you already own. Make sure to choose a domain name that reflects your brand and is easy for customers to remember.

Step 2: Access Your StoreMantis Account

Log in to your StoreMantis account and navigate to the settings or preferences section. Look for the option to manage domains or connect a custom domain.

Step 3: Enter Your Domain Name

Once you’re in the domain settings of your StoreMantis account, enter the domain name that you purchased in step 1. Make sure to enter the full domain name, including the prefix (e.g., www) and the extension (e.g., .com).

Step 4: Verify Ownership

After entering your domain name, you may need to verify ownership of the domain. This typically involves adding a DNS record or TXT record provided by StoreMantis to your domain registrar’s DNS settings. The verification process may take some time, so be patient.

Step 5: Wait for Confirmation

Once you’ve verified ownership of the domain, you’ll need to wait for confirmation from StoreMantis that the domain has been successfully connected. This process can also take some time, so be prepared to wait.

Step 6: Test Your New Domain

After receiving confirmation that your custom domain has been connected, it’s time to test it out. Enter your new domain name in a web browser and make sure that it correctly directs to your StoreMantis site. You may also want to test different pages and functionalities to ensure everything is working properly.

Step 7: Monitor and Maintain

Once your custom domain is connected to your StoreMantis site, make sure to monitor it regularly and perform any necessary maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Stay updated on domain registration renewals and any changes in DNS settings.

By following these steps, you can easily connect a custom domain to your StoreMantis site and enhance your online store’s professionalism and branding. A custom domain not only makes your store more memorable to customers but also instills trust and credibility in your brand.
