Essentials Settings

The Settings section in your Essentials plan allows you to configure the business account settings for your web store, including Localization settings, Contact Details, Payment Methods, and Domain Settings. (This is a small subset of the settings that are available on higher plans).

Consider moving to a higher plan if you want to be able to control settings for other aspects of your business, including, shipping, taxes, production settings, and more.

Domain Settings

The Domain Settings lets you configure domain names that will load your web store. You can use either a DecoNetwork domain name from those DecoNetwork makes available to customers, or your own domain name which you have purchased separately outside of DecoNetwork.

   The Existing store domains section lists the domains you have configured to load your web site.

   

   Edit lets you choose another subdomain name and domain name to use for your web site.

   Add custom domain

   

   New domain allows you to assign other domain names to your website. You can use this to add your custom domain. Enter your domain name into the New domain box, without http:// preceding the name, and click Add. If you are using a root level domain (i.e. www.mysite.com), we recommend also adding your domain a second time with www in front.

   

   Domain redirect

   

   Redirect to Primary Domain when enabled, will redirect all traffic to your site through the domain name configured as the Primary Domain. We recommend enabling this when using a custom domain.
