Example DNS records
Type Host Value
TXT _sellspace-verify.shop.example.com <token shown in your dashboard>
CNAME shop.example.com <target shown in your dashboard>Troubleshooting
- No TXT record found: the record is not visible yet. Wait and retry, and check the host name has no typo.
- Value does not match: copy the token again, without extra spaces or quotes.
- Apex domains: some DNS providers do not allow a CNAME on the root domain. Use a subdomain such as shop.example.com, or ask your provider about alias records.
