How to Connect Your Own Custom Domain

You can connect your own domain name to your Zepio store to make it look professional and build brand trust. Follow these simple steps carefully.

Step 1: Add Your Domain in Zepio

1. Login to your Zepio admin panel.

2. Go to Settings > Custom Domain from the left menu.

3. Enter your domain name in the field (example: yourdomain.com)
   ⚠️ Do not include http:// or https://

4. Click Next to proceed. You will now see the DNS details to update in your domain provider account.

Step 2: Update DNS Settings

Login to the account where you purchased your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger), and follow these steps:

1. Go to the DNS settings or DNS management section for your domain.

2. Delete all existing A records for @

3. Add the following two records:

   • Type: A
     Name/Host: @
     Points to: 139.5.191.142
     TTL: Set to the lowest available

   • Type: CNAME
     Name/Host: www
     Points to: domain.zepio.io
     TTL: Set to the lowest available

If these records already exist, edit them to match the above values.

DNS updates may take a few minutes to a few hours to fully take effect.

Always double-check DNS records and wait for some time before connecting your domain to avoid errors.

Step 3: Connect the Domain in Zepio

1. Go back to your Zepio admin panel.

2. Click Connect Domain.

3. If everything is set correctly, your domain will connect instantly.

Changing Your Domain Later

1. Go to Settings > Custom Domain.

2. Click Remove Domain to disconnect your current domain.

3. Add a new one by repeating the steps above.

⚠️ Important: Do not change any DNS records after connecting your domain. This may cause disconnection from your store.
