Storefronts
Domains and DNS
Connect your own domain, which DNS records are needed, how verification works and common errors.
Temporary address
Every storefront has slug-xxxxxxxx.bunstack.shop with a certificate from the start. It keeps working even when your own domain is connected, but visitors are redirected to the canonical address.
Connect your own domain
Under Storefronts › Domain you enter the domain, for example shop.woodhouse.se or the apex woodhouse.se. BunStack registers it with the hosting and shows which DNS records are needed:
| Type of domain | Record |
|---|---|
Subdomain (shop.example.com) | CNAME → cname.vercel-dns.com |
Apex (example.com) | A → 76.76.21.21 |
| www together with apex | CNAME for www → cname.vercel-dns.com, one redirects to the other |
The status goes from waiting for DNS to waiting for certificate to active. The page checks automatically every 30 seconds; DNS changes can take up to an hour to propagate depending on the provider.
www or not
You choose which form is canonical. The other answers with a permanent redirect, so links and search engines gather on one address.
Change or remove
Remove domain deregisters it; the storefront then answers only on the temporary address again. Change by removing and adding.
Common errors
- Waiting for DNS for hours: check that the record points exactly at the value above and that no old A records remain on the same name.
- The certificate does not arrive: CAA records at your DNS provider can block issuance. Allow
letsencrypt.org. - Works without www but not with: add the CNAME for www too.
