Add a ShopBase-managed domain to PlusBase store
A domain is the URL, or the website address, where your Buyers go to find your store online. By default, your online store has a onshopbase.com URL when you sign up for ShopBase. If you want to change the domain that the Buyers use to visit your store, you can add a custom domain. Furthermore, before you begin selling, you must add at least one custom domain to your store in order to increase store credibility and allow the Buyers to complete payments for their orders.
On PlusBase, you can only buy and connect a ShopBase-managed domain to your PlusBase store to simplify the domain setup process, ensure service quality and stable operation. This can help avoid unnecessary risks associated with non-ShopBase-managed domains with bad business histories that can affect the PlusBase's payment gateway, and allow Buyers to receive full order information in case the store is shut down.
In this article, we will show you how to add a ShopBase-managed domain to a PlusBase store.
