yoursite.reploshops.com) or your own custom domain. This guide walks you through how to connect your domain, set up the required DNS records, troubleshoot common issues, and understand your options across different hosting providers.
Why use a custom domain?
Connecting a custom domain (e.g.,shop.yourdomain.com) improves your shop’s:
- Brand identity — looks more professional
- Search engine visibility — better SEO
- Memorability — easier to share and remember
Requirements to use a custom domain
Before you begin:- You must be on a paid Replo plan.
- You need to own a domain name. You can purchase one from providers like Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, or Squarespace.
Connect your domain
Add your domain in Replo
Go to Project > Settings > Domains and click Add Domain. Enter your domain — for example,
shop.yourdomain.com for a subdomain or yourdomain.com for a root domain.Add the DNS records at your domain provider
Log in to your domain provider and add the DNS records shown below based on your domain type (subdomain vs. root domain).If you’re unsure how to add DNS records, refer to your provider’s documentation:
Verify in Replo
Return to Project > Settings > Domains. Your domain will appear as Pending while until you re-verify it. Click the edit next to your domain and click “Check Connection” to verify that your DNS records have been added correctly. Once the DNS records have propagated, your domain will move from Pending to Verified.
Note that though most DNS updates are live within a minute or two, in some cases DNS changes may take up to 48 hours to propagate. You can use a tool like DNS Checker to additionally verify whether your DNS changes have propagated.

DNS records for subdomains
If you’re connecting a subdomain likeshop.yourdomain.com, add a CNAME record:
| Type | Host / Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
CNAME | Your subdomain (e.g. shop) | yourshopprefix.reploshops.com | 300 |
Replace
yourshopprefix with the Replo shop prefix assigned to your project. You can find this in Project > Settings > Domains — it’s the subdomain shown for your default .reploshops.com staging URL.DNS records for root domains
If you’re connecting a root/apex domain likeyourdomain.com, CNAME records are not supported (per DNS standards). Instead, add the following A, AAAA, and TXT records:
| Type | Host / Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
A | @ | 162.159.142.94 | 300 |
A | @ | 172.66.2.90 | 300 |
AAAA | @ | 2606:4700:7::252 | 300 |
AAAA | @ | 2a06:98c1:58::252 | 300 |
TXT | _replo-verification.<your-domain> | replo-verify=<your-token> | 300 |
The TXT record is required for domain ownership verification. The value of this record is unique to your domain — go to Project > Settings > Domains and click on your domain to find the exact TXT record value you need to add. The verification token expires after 7 days. If it expires before your domain is verified, Replo will automatically generate a new token, and you’ll need to update the TXT record with the new value.
Domain verification status
After adding a domain, it goes through two states:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Domain has been added in Replo, but DNS records haven’t been verified yet. |
| Verified | DNS records confirmed. Your site is live at the custom domain. |
