    I purchased the domain name choosenownetwork.com and was operating from wordpress for a couple of months but need to move to shopify.

    Both my techy son and i have tried everything we can find in the help section but we cant seem to get it right. Its been well over a week now and I need the site up asap.

    any help appreciated thanks

    Thanks for sharing those screenshots!

    It looks like you are attempting to first connect the domain choosenownetwork.com to Shopify.

    When you make changes to DNS servers (change web host) there is process that is called DNS propagation that has an influence on how soon you can use the domain

    DNS propagation is the process of updating every server across the world with new information about the Domain Name System (DNS). This is like changing your house address in a global directory. Just like it takes time for post offices around the world to acknowledge your new address, DNS servers also take time to recognize your website’s new address or any changes you made. This waiting time or delay is called DNS propagation.

    It can take up to 72 hours to full propagate, you should be able to use tools within the Shopify dashboard to verify that the A records are propagated and the domain ready to use.
