Your store is live on a MağazamHazır subdomain from day one, but you will want to hand customers your own address. Connecting a domain is a two-sided job: you add the domain in the panel, and you add a record in the DNS panel of wherever you bought the domain. This guide covers both sides.

## Before you start

- A domain you already own (GoDaddy, Natro, Cloudflare, İsimtescil, …)
- Access to that domain's DNS settings
- A verified mobile number — adding a domain requires it

## Steps

### 1. Add the domain in the panel {#adim-1}

Go to Ayarlar → Özel Alan Adı and press Alan Adı Ekle. Both a root domain (yourstore.com) and a subdomain (shop.yourstore.com) work.

### 2. Copy the DNS record you are given {#adim-2}

The panel then shows DNS Talimatları with a record row: type, name and value. Use the copy button — a single mistyped character makes verification fail.

### 3. Enter the record at your registrar {#adim-3}

Open the DNS management screen at the company you bought the domain from and add the same record. The screen has different names per provider: DNS Management, Advanced DNS, Zone Editor. Propagation usually takes minutes, occasionally hours.

### 4. Press Verify {#adim-4}

Back in the panel, press Doğrula. When the status reads Doğrulandı the domain is attached. If it fails, the record has probably not propagated yet — wait a few minutes and retry.

### 5. Wait for the certificate {#adim-5}

After verification the HTTPS certificate is issued automatically. Once ready, your address appears under 'Siteniz bu adreste yayında' and you can check it with Siteyi aç.

## Tips

### Root domain or www?

You can connect both. The common setup is the root domain as the main address with www redirecting to it — add both in the panel so the certificate covers both.

### If you use Cloudflare

Leave the record as DNS only (grey cloud) while verifying. With the proxy on (orange cloud) the verification request terminates at Cloudflare and can fail.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will my site go down while the domain connects?

No. Your store stays reachable on the MağazamHazır subdomain until verification and the certificate are done; the new address then takes over.

### Verification keeps failing — what now?

The usual cause is DNS not yet propagated. Check the record's type, name and value match the panel exactly, wait 15 minutes and press Doğrula again.

### Do I pay extra for the SSL certificate?

No. It is issued and renewed automatically at no additional cost.
