Custom domains with automatic SSL

Every Soooks store gets a free address on soooks.com from the start, and you can connect a domain you own at any time: add the DNS records Soooks shows you, verify, and the security certificate (SSL) is set up automatically.

How it works

1. Open Settings → Domains and choose "Connect existing domain".
2. Enter your domain and add the records shown — an A record for the root domain, a CNAME for www, and a TXT record that proves the domain is yours — at the company where you bought it.
3. Verify the domain. Once verified, SSL is provisioned automatically.
4. Set it as primary. Your other addresses, including the free soooks.com one, then redirect to it, so search engines see one address for your store.

What to know

• Custom domains are available on every plan, with no limit on how many you connect.
• You keep your free soooks.com address as well; once your own domain is primary, it redirects there.
• DNS changes can take from a few minutes to a few hours to reach everyone. Verify again if the first check does not find the records.
• Use the same domain everywhere you share links — social profiles, emails, packaging — so customers and search engines see one address.

Before you connect

1. Buy the domain from a domain registrar, if you do not own one yet.
2. Make sure you can sign in to the place that manages its DNS records (often the same registrar).
3. If the domain already points at an old website, plan the switch: once the records change, visitors reach your Soooks store.

Limits

• Soooks does not sell domains or host email; buy the domain from a domain registrar and keep your email with your email provider.
