How to Connect Your Own Domain to Your telly.cat Store

Every telly.cat reseller store starts on a free address like yourname.telly.cat. That's perfect for testing. When customers start coming, your own domain makes the store look more serious and makes the brand fully yours.

Step 1. Buy a domain

Buy one from any registrar. Short, easy to spell and close to your store's name. A .com is safe, but a country ending can work well if you sell in one country.

Step 2. Add it in your store

Open the domain settings in your store's admin and add the domain. The admin shows you exactly which DNS record to create.

Step 3. Create the DNS record

At your registrar or DNS provider, create the record shown in your admin. Copy and paste it rather than typing it, since most failed setups are a typo. Remove any old record on the same name first.

Step 4. Wait and check

DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours. Once connected, your store loads on your domain with HTTPS. Open it in a private window to check it works for new visitors.

After switching

• Update your link everywhere. Telegram, social profiles, bio links.
• Tell existing customers in a short message.
• Keep sharing the new address consistently.

Why it matters

• Customers remember and trust a real domain more.
• Your brand is yours, whatever changes later.
• It looks like a business, not a side project.

Don't rush it

There's no need to buy a domain on day one. Launch on the free address, get your first customers, then upgrade once you know the name works.

Create your store on the reseller page and connect a domain whenever you're ready.
