Manage domains
Change domain type
There are three types of domains:
- Primary domain: Every store must have one primary domain. You can also have multiple alias or redirect domains. When you first register your Genstore store, the system creates a
.genmystore.com
domain as your primary domain. You can add a custom domain and set it as your primary domain. - Redirect domain: A redirect domain points to your store, but when visitors enter the redirect domain in their browser, they will be redirected to the primary domain.
- Alias domain: An alias domain points to your store but doesn’t redirect to the primary domain. The alias domain shows up in the browser’s address bar.
Steps:
- In the Genstore admin, go to Settings -> Domains.
- Find the domain you want to change.
- Click Change domain type.
- Select the new domain type and click Save.
Remove a domain
If you no longer want to associate a third-party custom domain with your Genstore store, you can remove it from the Genstore admin. You can also remove subdomains.
TIP
- You cannot delete your
.genmystore.com
domain. - To delete the primary domain, you must first change the primary domain and then remove the old one.
Steps:
- In the Genstore backend, go to Settings -> Domains.
- Find the domain you want to remove.
- Click Delete to confirm.
