Step 4. Add a Payment Method

During the activation process, Namify will ask you to add a payment method.

Although your .store domain is free for the first year, adding a payment method ensures your domain can renew automatically in the future and helps prevent any interruption to your website.

After adding your payment method, return to SellShop and click I’m Finished to complete the setup.

DNS Propagation

Once your domain has been activated, SellShop automatically configures the required DNS records for you.

Make sure to replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.

If any of these records (A Record for @ or CName record for www) already exist in your DNS settings, edit that with the given values instead of creating a new record.
