Yes, you can connect a domain that is already connected to a Shopify store and also have it connected to a landing page on Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Obtain the DNS settings for your domain: Before you can connect your domain to Webflow, you need to get the DNS settings for your domain from your domain registrar or Shopify.

  2. Add the domain to Webflow: In your Webflow project settings, navigate to the Hosting tab. Click on the "+ Add Custom Domain" button. Enter your domain and click "Add Domain."

  3. Set up DNS records: Once you've added the domain to Webflow, you need to set up the necessary DNS records to connect the domain properly. Webflow provides you with the required DNS records that you need to add to your domain's DNS settings.

  4. Connect the domain in Webflow: After you've added the necessary DNS records, go back to Webflow and click on the "Connect Domain" button next to your domain. Webflow will verify the DNS settings and connect your domain to your Webflow project.

  5. Configure Shopify settings: To ensure that your Shopify store and landing page coexist seamlessly, you need to make some changes in your Shopify settings.

  • Go to your Shopify admin panel and navigate to Online Store > Domains.
  • Under "Primary domain," click on "Connect existing domain."
  • Enter your domain and click "Next."
  • In the "Connect existing domain" section, select "I have specific DNS records for my domain" and click "Next."
  • Shopify will provide you with the required DNS records. Copy these records and save them for later.
  1. Update DNS records: Return to your domain registrar's DNS management panel. Locate the DNS section for your domain and update the existing DNS settings with the ones provided by Shopify.

  2. Wait for DNS propagation: DNS changes may take some time to propagate. It typically takes a few hours to 48 hours for the changes to take effect. During this period, your Shopify store and Webflow landing page may fluctuate between each other until the DNS changes fully propagate.

By following these steps, you can successfully connect a domain that is connected to a Shopify store and also have it connected to a landing page on Webflow. This allows you to have a dedicated landing page on Webflow while retaining your main store on Shopify.
