If you have already purchased a domain to start your e-commerce business on Shopify, and now your Shopify website is ready too. Then you just need to add third party domain in Shopify so that users can find your business by entering the name in their browser.
Shopify made it very easy to connect the third-party domain through the back-end panel provided by Shopify. You just have to make small tweaks to point out the third-party domain to your Shopify website.
To add the third-party domain without any trouble just follow the instructions one by one:
