@jigsaw21 Not sure what you want to do with your custom domain. We can add links that will forward people to that domain (store settings - social media links - add your website url - submit to save) then it would be down to you to design your own site with it linking back to zazzle for customers to buy your products

Search for tutorials on how to edit a website and add links (back to your zazzle store) but you won't be able to set up a shopable 'shop now' sort of site where you process orders etc - purchases have to be done through the zazzle domain as they are Zazzle's customers and not ours

Like I said at the beginning - not sure what you're asking so my answer may be pointless 😂

 

edited to add - the actually url of your zazzle shop will always be zazzle.com/store/whateveryoucallyourshop - that's something we can't change in any settings unless you set up a new store which would then be zazzle.com/store/whateveryoucallyourshopagain2

Hi, thank you for your response, for example on etsy you can have your own domain name for your shop and I thought you could do that with a zazzle shop but I see that you cannot do that now:)

Not sure how tech savvy you are, but you could use a 301 redirect in the .htaccess file of your custom domain.

You can easily forward your domain to your zazzle shop from your domain account at your registrar, most registrar's have a forwarding option available. Just be sure you don't have masking (sometime called cloaking) turned on. With forwarding your domain will redirect to your zazzle shop and the url in the browser bar will revert to your shop's zazzle url once the visitor lands in your shop.
