Guide to Connecting Your NameSilo Domain

Your domain is the URL through which your customers find your online store. You can purchase a domain that aligns your brand from NameSilo, and then resolve the domain and link it to the SHOPLINE admin panel, building customer trust in your store.

 

 

Resolving Your NameSilo Domain

After purchasing a domain from NameSilo, you need to perform the following steps to resolve the domain in the NameSilo dashboard:

Notes: If the linking is unsuccessful, perform the following troubleshooting:

  • Check whether the domain service provider section involves multiple records. If yes, remove irrelevant records.
  • Ensure that the record values match those provided by SHOPLINE.
  • Wait for DNS resolution to take effect, which may take a few hours. During this time, you can click Add to list to temporarily add the domain to the domain list and try linking again later.
