Add your domain name

You already have your TPOP store (mystore.tpopsite.com for example) and you want to take it to the next level? A custom domain name allows you to increase your notoriety and reputation at a low cost.

The domain name option is not available with the free offer

In order to transform mystore.tpopsite.com into mystore.com, you will need to perform what is called a DNS modification. It is a technical operation that may seem complex, but it is not.

What are DNS?

DNS are like an address book for the internet. When you enter a web address, DNS translates this address into an IP address, much like a phone directory translates names into phone numbers.

The entire Internet relies on IP addresses, so this allows you to "link" (we say "point") your tpopsite store to your own domain name.

1. Enter the domain name you want to use

Enter your own domain name, the one you ordered from an external operator. You should only enter the domain name, not https:// or www

2. DNS modification

You will need to add/modify 2 DNS zones with your provider (where you purchased your domain name).

Their technical names:

• A CNAME zone

• An A zone

Depending on the providers, the procedure is different: here are the procedures explained for the main providers:

• Cloudflare

• Gandi

• GoDaddy

• Namecheap

• OVH

If you are using Cloudflare, make sure that the Cloudflare proxy is disabled for all DNS records we ask you to add. Ensure that the cloud icon is not orange.

For the CNAME, it is necessary with some providers to add a dot at the end of the address (shops.tpopsite.com.)

Validation of your records can take up to 24 hours, don't panic if your domain is not accessible during this time.

3. Confirmation of the change

Once your DNS records are confirmed, you need to validate the domain name change. This allows us to completely reconfigure your store, with a lot of care and love.

4. SSL Generation

This step is automatic and can take about ten minutes: it allows the generation of your SSL certificate. The SSL certificate, to put it simply, is the padlock visible in the address bar, which secures your store and all transactions.
