Storefront
Custom domain setup for your online store
A shop launches on a platform subdomain and can attach its own domain at any time, with one host set as primary and the others 301-redirecting into it — plus an optional password-protected page for staging a store before it is public.

Start on the platform subdomain
Every shop is live on a working subdomain from day one.
- 2
Attach your own domain
Point your domain at the platform whenever you are ready, without downtime.
- 3
Set the primary host
Choose which domain is canonical; the others 301-redirect into it.

Password-gate it before launch
Build the store behind a password page until it is ready to go public.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a custom domain to launch a store?
No, every shop launches on a platform subdomain first and a custom domain can be attached at any point afterwards without downtime.
What happens to the old subdomain once a custom domain is attached?
It keeps working but 301-redirects into whichever host is set as primary, so nothing that already linked to it breaks.
Can I hide the store while I am still setting it up?
Yes, a pre-launch password page gates the store from public visitors until you choose to make it live.
