[3-Step Process]"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving to Shopify is a big leap forward for your business, and you don\u2019t have to leave your trusted Wix domain behind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By connecting it to Shopify, you can maintain your brand credibility, keep your SEO intact, and make the switch smooth for your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blog outlines the step-by-step process to connect the Wix domain to Shopify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Connect a Wix Domain to Shopify?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, you can connect a Wix domain to a Shopify store, and it is easier than you might think. When you set up a new Shopify store, you have a few different options for adding a domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, you can choose the one that fits your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first option is connecting a Wix domain to Shopify if you have already registered through Wix. You can simply update the DNS settings in Wix to point to your Shopify store. This lets you keep the existing domain name without transferring the ownership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another option is to buy a new domain directly from Shopify; this is easy to utilize, and your domain will be directly set up and connected to your Shopify store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of connecting domains, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/transfer-from-wix-to-shopify\/\">transfer the domain to Wix from Shopify<\/a>. Meaning Shopify will become your domain registrar, and you can manage everything from the Shopify dashboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wix Domain to Shopify: Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you connect the Wix domain to Shopify, make sure you have the following essentials ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure you have access to your Wix and Shopify accounts with the correct login details<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your domain must be at least 60 days old and unlocked to be eligible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Wix domain should be linked to a valid email for potential verification<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be patient with DNS propagation, as it can take up to 48 hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your Shopify DNS information ready, including the A record and CNAME record<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Connect a Wix Domain to a Shopify Store?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here I\u2019m going to walk you through the process of connecting your Wix domain to Shopify in just three simple steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Step 1: Update the A records in Wix<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 2: Update the CNAME records in Wix<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Step 3: Connect &amp; Verify Domain in Shopify<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Update the A records in Wix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Log in to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wix account<\/a> and head to <strong>Account Settings &gt; Domains &gt; \u2026 &gt; Manage DNS records.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records.png\" alt=\"Manage DNS Records\" class=\"wp-image-18656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records.png 1400w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records-250x125.png 250w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records-700x350.png 700w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records-403x202.png 403w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records-964x482.png 964w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/1-Manage-DNS-Records-120x60.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, click on <strong>Advanced <\/strong>to open the DNS records and find the <strong>A(Host) record<\/strong> and set it to point to Shopify\u2019s IP address. <strong>Save <\/strong>the changes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1034\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records.png\" alt=\"Click on Advanced to Open the DNS Records\" class=\"wp-image-18641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records.png 1034w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records-250x109.png 250w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records-700x305.png 700w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records-768x334.png 768w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records-403x175.png 403w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records-964x420.png 964w, https:\/\/meetanshi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2-Click-on-Advanced-to-Open-the-DNS-Records-120x52.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1034px) 100vw, 1034px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Update the CNAME records in Wix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, in the <strong>CNAME (Aliases), <\/strong>click <strong>Edit. <\/strong>In the Host name field, enter <strong>www<\/strong>.
