Connecting an existing domain

Currently to use Teespring’s branded store you need to purchase third-party domain which can then be pointed to your store. This means whenever someone enters your url i.e example.com it loads up your branded store.

  1. Purchase a domain using a third-party domain registrar (Skip this step if you already have one)
  2. Receive to temporary site URL from account manager
  3. Add these DNS settings through your registrar
  4. Contact your Account manager to let them know this has been completed

Purchase a domain 

You can purchase a domain from any domain registrar which allows you to control your DNS settings. 

Here are some popular registrar’s

Temporary site URL

When your site is ready to go live your account manager will provide you a preview in the form of a temporary URL such as storename.myteespring.co. If you have not received this yet you will have to wait before continuing the rest of the setup.

Add DNS settings

In order to point your custom domain to your branded store, you’ll need to edit your DNS settings in your domain registrar’s control panel to include a CNAME and A record that points to your store.
