Custom domain

Every store gets a free {slug}.forma.pk address immediately. If you own a domain — or a subdomain of one — you can point it at your store from Settings → Domain.

How it works

  1. Go to Settings → Domain and enter your domain, e.g. shop.acme.com or acme.com.
  2. Forma shows you a single DNS record to add — a CNAME for a subdomain, or an A record for a root domain.
  3. Add that record at your domain registrar (wherever you bought the domain).
  4. Once DNS propagates (usually minutes, sometimes up to a few hours), click Verify — your storefront goes live on your domain with HTTPS handled automatically.

Your {slug}.forma.pk address still works

Connecting a custom domain doesn't remove your original subdomain — both can work simultaneously, which is handy while you're confirming DNS is set up correctly.

DNS changes take time to propagate

If Verify fails right after adding the record, wait a bit and try again — DNS changes aren't instant everywhere, even though most registrars update within minutes.
