A domain is the URL or web address where your customers go to find your store online. By default, your online store was given a fastcommerce.com URL when you signed up for FastCommerce. To personalize the web address that your customers see when they visit your online store, you must use a custom domain, such as www.storename.com. You can buy domains from FastCommerce or any other domain provider. Using a domain that is relevant to your brand can help you build trust in your online store.
Once you have added a domain to FastCommerce, you can manage your online store's domain settings from the Domains page.
