How to connect your custom domain to Little Big Shop #

When you create an online store with Little Big Shop, you get a default [name].littlebig.shop address.

Connecting your own domain (like yourbusiness.com.au) makes your Little Big Shop store look more professional and easy to find.

Step-by-step guide #

Follow the steps below to set up your custom domain.

Part One #

If you have not registered your own domain name (e.g., yourbusiness.com.au), check out these reputable suppliers:

  • GoDaddy
  • Google Domains
  • Namecheap
  • Crazy Domains
  • VentraIP

Choose from the following options:

Option 1: Connect your root domain #

If you want your root domain to point to Little Big Shop (eg. https://yourbusiness.com.au)

Type

A

A

Name/Host

@

@

IP Address

166.117.43.116

166.117.164.152

If you want to add www.yourdomain.com.au then add a CNAME that points to your root domain

Type

CNAME

Name/Host

www

Value

yourbusiness.com.au

Option 2: Connect a subdomain #

If you have a website and want to point a subdomain to Little Big Shop (eg. http://shop.yourbusiness.com.au)

Examples: shop,yourbusiness.com.au

Type

CNAME

Name/Host

shop

Value

littlebig.shop

If you’re unsure how to do this, contact your domain hosting provider for assistance.

Part two #

In the dashboard in Little Big Shop app, navigate to ‘Shop settings’ on the left hand side

  • Click on ‘Settings’ and ‘Shop details’
  • Navigate to the ‘Connect your own domain name’ and switch the toggle to turn this on (it should be orange)
  • There is a field under ‘Your own domain name’. Add your domain in the custom domain here (eg. shop.yourbusiness.com.au). You do not have to add https://
  • Click the ‘Save’ button on the top right hand side to apply your changes

Tips #

The section labelled “Website details” cannot be edited. It contains the following:

  • Shop Link: Your shop’s URL is displayed here. This link directs customers to your online store.
  • Website Admin: This link provides access to the admin panel.
