Running your shop

Domains and email

Connecting or buying a domain, its DNS records, mailboxes, and sending email as yourself.

Your shop starts at yourshop.myshop.cleverlittlecart.com. Give it your own address under Settings → Domains.

Connect a domain you own

  1. Add the domain under Settings → Domains.
  2. At your domain's DNS host, add the records shown.
  3. Press Check. Once the records are found, your shop answers at your domain, with HTTPS set up for you.
  4. Choose which address is the main one.

Buy a domain

Search for a domain under Settings → Domains, and buy it there. It is registered in your name and renews each year while your shop is active, unless you turn auto-renew off. WHOIS privacy is included free where the domain's ending allows it. You can also transfer a domain in. See the Domain registration terms.

DNS records

For a domain bought here, edit its DNS records in the dashboard, and set up email forwarding.

Mailboxes

Mailboxes on your own domain, such as hello@yourshop.com, can come from us: add them under Settings → Mailboxes, as many as your plan includes or as packs. They are read and answered in the dashboard's Inbox, beside the orders they are about, or in any mail app. The MXroute add-on is another way to have them.

Prefer a provider you already use? Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Zoho work too: set their records in one click from the domain's page.

Sending email from your address

Under Settings → Email delivery, set the mail server your shop sends through, the address emails come from, and the reply-to address. Follow the SPF and DKIM guidance shown, so your emails reach inboxes rather than spam.
