Introducing Custom Domains

Updated over a month ago

Your Catlog store just got a serious upgrade.

You can now buy or connect a custom domain directly from your Catlog dashboard, without using third-party services or dealing with a complicated setup process.

If you’ve ever wanted your store link to look more professional, more branded, and more like your business, this update is for you.

What Is a Custom Domain?

A custom domain is a web address you own and control for your store.

Instead of using a default link like:
yourname.catlog.shop

You can now use something like:

  • yourname.shop

  • yourname.com

  • yourname.com.ng

  • yourname.gh

It’s cleaner, easier to remember, and instantly improves how your store looks to customers.

What’s New

Catlog now lets you:

  • Buy a new domain directly inside your dashboard

  • Connect a domain you already own

  • Automatically link your domain to your store

  • Go live without technical headaches

Everything happens inside Catlog.
