Subdomains can be a great way for you to host numerous features on your website. For instance, you might want to host a separate blog or a forum on a subdomain. Or perhaps you would like to sell internationally and would like subdomains for different countries or languages for your audience.<\/p>\n
Another option is that you would like to have a subdomain for a website that is for members, loyal customers or wholesale customers. Is this possible on Shopify? And if so, how can it be done.<\/p>\n
When you buy your shop\u2019s domain from Shopify, you\u2019re given the configuration for two subdomains and the root domain. For instance, you will get example.com (root domain),\u00a0www.example.com\u00a0and shop.example.com.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re looking to add another subdomain to your Shopify store, you will have to add a CNAME resource record using the OpenSRS interface. To find the information that will allow you to do this, you will need to find the original documentation that you got when you purchased your domain from Shopify.<\/p>\n
Then you can set up your subdomain on Shopify by following these steps.<\/p>\n
The first step is to log into your website.<\/p>\n
Now you need to create a collection that will be displayed on your subdomain. For instance, if you\u2019re offering premium packages for those who are loyal to your brand, you could label this as a \u2018Premium\u2019 collection.<\/p>\n
Now you can set the domain forwarding record for the subdomain. The destination URL has to be directed to the collection that you\u2019ve created in step 2.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019ve done step 3, you will be presented with an IP address. This should be used when you create a record for your subdomain.<\/p>\n
In some cases, you will find that the IP address will not display. This is a glitch and it\u2019s not anything that you\u2019ve done that has caused this. If you do encounter this problem, then you can speak to the Shopify support team. They will be able to see and give you the IP address to help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
