How to Set Up a Custom Domain on District Pro

If you’re on District Pro, you can host your site on your own domain (like www.yourstore.com) instead of your default District URL. Here’s how to set it up:
A District Pro subscription
A domain you’ve purchased (like from Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Name.com)
Access to your domain provider’s DNS settings
Log in to your District Seller Dashboard
Go to Settings in bottom left
Tap Custom Domain > enter your full domain (e.g. www.yourstore.com)
Click 'Add Domain'
You’ll now see the DNS information you’ll need to add in your domain provider’s dashboard (details in Step 2). Before hitting "Refresh Status," continue with the next step.
In your domain provider’s dashboard, you’ll need to add the following DNS records to point your domain to District. Use the Type column to determine whether to add an A Record or a CNAME.
If you're not sure how to find or update your DNS settings, follow your provider’s help guide:
GoDaddy: Add an A Record / Add a CNAME Record
Name.com: Adding an A record / Adding a CNAME Record
If you use a different provider, search their help center for "Add an A record," "Add a CNAME record," or "Edit DNS settings"—the process is generally similar.
Return to your District Seller Dashboard
Go to Settings > Custom Domain
Tap Refresh Status to check your connection
Note: DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to fully update, though it often happens sooner.
Once connected, you’ll see a green message that says “Connected.”
After the connection is confirmed, your District will be live at your custom domain — like www.yourstore.com.
You’ll still be able to access your site at district.net/yourstore, but we recommend using and sharing your custom domain for a more branded experience.
