  Hi Mary,

  Are you looking to point your entire domain (maryjforamerica.com) to your Shopify store or just create a subdomain (store.maryjforamerica.com) that points to your Shopify store?

  If it’s the former, I can help you to do that. It looks like I would just need to change the A record on your domain to 204.93.213.45 as described here:

  http://docs.shopify.com/manual/settings/domains/outside-provider

  If it’s the latter, you would just need to create a subdomain as described here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/#pointing-a-subdomain-of-a-domain-mapped-to-wordpress-com-to-an-outside-website

  Feel free to let me know how you would like to proceed, and I will provide further instruction!

  Sorry, its tough to explain this being new to all of this.

  I would basically like to do all of my business through shopify. I would like for every time someone would type in “maryjforamerica.com” It would go to my shopify store that i custom created. So it’d be the layout I created with shopify.

  Thank you! I hope you can help.

  Hey Mary!

  It looks like you’ve already changed the A record on your domain to point to Shopify. I went ahead and made some adjustments to your domain record. Now, both maryjforamerica.com and http://www.maryjforamerica.com should direct to your Shopify store. Both are working on my side. Are they working for you?

  Currently, it doesn’t look like it’s possible to transfer your domain registration to Shopify. So, you will need to remember to maintain your domain registration here through WordPress.com in order for your domain to work correctly. Currently, your domain is good through 2/5/15 as shown here:

  Let me know if you need anything else!

  Hmm it still seems to be going to my wordpress appearance. Is it just going to take time before it shows my shopify store?

  Hmm it should be displaying by now. If you’re still having trouble, it could be a browser-related issue. Can you try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies? Instructions can be found here:

  Also, could you try a different browser?

  Let me know if that doesn’t work!
