Domains

Connecting a domain you own is two jobs in two places: you add it in Tanqory, then you point it here from the provider where it is registered. This walks both, and explains why the domain does nothing until the second one is done.

Every store starts with a Tanqory subdomain, already listed here as its primary domain. This covers what the Domains page holds, the two ways to add an address of your own, and the jobs that only become available once you have one, from choosing which domain customers see to removing one you no longer use.

Your primary domain is the single address customers end up on, whichever of your domains they arrive through. This covers what changes when you set one, how to pick between the domains you hold, and why a new store already has a primary before it has bought anything.

Three kinds of address can point at your store: the free Tanqory subdomain it came with, a domain you buy through Tanqory, and one you already own and connect. This explains what each is, what you are responsible for in each case, and which to choose.

There are two ways to put your store on a custom domain: buy a new one through Tanqory, or connect a domain you already own from another provider.

The DNS change is the part of connecting a domain that happens outside Tanqory, at the provider where the domain is registered. This explains what a DNS record is, which ones a store needs, why your email records must be left alone, and how long the change takes to take effect.

Registering a domain through Tanqory, from the search to the point where you pick one. Covers what the results show you, why the same name costs very different amounts on different endings, and what to weigh before you commit to a yearly bill.

Your store comes with a free Tanqory subdomain, and its name cannot be changed. This explains what that address is, what its page shows you, and how to put your store on an address of your own instead.

Removing a domain takes it off your store without giving up ownership of it, so the address stops reaching your storefront but stays yours. This covers what changes and what does not, what to move out of the way first, and the cases where it is better to leave the domain connected than to remove it.

A walk through the Add external domain dialog itself: the three conditions it states before you type anything, what the Domain name field accepts, and what Add domain and Cancel each do.

Move a domain's registration from another registrar to Tanqory using its authorization code. The transfer typically takes 5 to 7 days and extends the registration.

The Domain checkout page in full: the auto-renew switch and registration period, the registrant details a domain registration legally requires, what the order summary already includes, and what happens once you hand off to Stripe.

What a domain transfer looks like day by day: what has to be true before you can start, what the form asks, what the five to seven day wait is actually doing, and what changes at the end.

The Domain Transfers page is the one place a transfer request lives while it runs. This covers what the page lists, what its empty state means, and what to do and avoid during the days a transfer is under way.
