Shopify

In this tutorial, we will be going through the process of linking your domain or subdomain that is hosted by Shopify to a Funnelish funnel.

Before you start

• Decide whether you want to use the root domain (e.g., mydomain.com) or a subdomain (e.g., go.mydomain.com, offers.mydomain.com).

• Know that www. is also considered a subdomain.

• If you are using the root domain (e.g., myshop.com) for something else like a Shopify store, then you cannot use the same root domain for your funnels. You'll instead have to use a subdomain (e.g., go.myshop.com).

Using a root domain (aka naked domain)

This method is only needed in case you want to use your actual root domain (e.g., mystore.com) as the entry URL of your funnel instead of a subdomain.

Using a root domain for Funnelish will replace anything else being used at that same root domain.

1. In your Shopify admin, click Settings and then Domains.

2. On the Domains page, select a domain name you want to use.

3. Click Domain settings in the top corner and select Edit DNS settings.

4. You'll most likely notice that there is already an A Record with an “@” Name pointing to something else like this:

If you don't see an existing @ A Record, then create a new one first.

1. Click Actions, then select Edit next to the @ A Record.

2. Input @ In the Name field.

3. Paste this IP address “151.101.2.184” into the Points to field.

4. Click Confirm.

Using a subdomain (e.g., go.mydomain.com)

1. In your Shopify admin, click Settings and then Domains.

2. On the Domains page, select a domain name you want to use.

3. Click Domain settings in the top corner and select Edit DNS settings.

4. Click Add custom record, then select CNAME record.

1. In the Name field, put the subdomain name. If you want your subdomain to be “go.mystore.com” then in the Name field you have to put “go” only (the same rule applies to www.mystore.com).

2. In Points to copy and paste “domains.funnelish.com”.

3. Click Confirm.

Make sure you don't have an A record / CNAME type with the same Name or the connection will fail.

Correct

Type	Name	Point to
A	@	funnelish
A	bmo	other

Incorrect

Type	Name	Point to
A	@	funnelish
A	@	other

It usually takes less than an hour to update, but sometimes it might take up to 24 hours. Once the changes show up, continue with the connection with Funnelish.

Connect your domain/subdomain to Funnelish

Once the root domain or subdomain is configured as explained above, head back to Funnelish and open a funnel.

1. Select the funnel you will connect, then click the Funnel Settings icon.

2. Under the Basic settings section, click Connect a new domain and input your domain/subdomain. If you have connected the subdomain, then make sure to write it down as it is (e.g., go.mydomain.com) If you have connected the root domain, then add the naked domain as it is (e.g., mydomain.com) without any www…

3. Click Connect and Verify.

4. Once verified, select the newly connected domain/subdomain from the Domain dropdown and click Save changes.

If the verification process fails, try again after a few minutes (it could take up to a few hours in some cases).

If after a few hours the verification process is still failing, make sure your configuration is done properly according to the instructions above… If all seems in order, make sure to contact our customer support for assistance.
