Custom Domains and SSL: Setup Guide

Axnify Team18 March 20266 min read

Using a custom domain makes your store look professional and builds trust with customers. Axnify makes the process straightforward.

Choosing a Domain

Pick a domain that is short, memorable, and easy to spell. Avoid hyphens and numbers. The .com extension is still the most trusted, but country-specific extensions (.co.uk, .de) work well for local businesses.

DNS Configuration

Point your domain to Axnify by creating a CNAME record. In your DNS provider, create a CNAME record for your domain pointing to your store subdomain at axnify.com.

Automatic SSL

Once your DNS propagates (usually 15-30 minutes), Axnify automatically provisions an SSL certificate. Your store will be accessible via HTTPS with no additional configuration.

Subdomain Option

If you do not have a custom domain yet, every store gets a free subdomain: yourstore.axnify.com. You can add a custom domain at any time later.
