Once your migration is complete and you’ve verified your Target Store is working correctly, follow these steps to switch your domain over:
- Test your Target Store thoroughly first. Before going live, double-check your migrated data and test checkout, payment, and shipping settings on your Target Cart to make sure everything works as expected.
- Update your DNS settings. Point your domain’s DNS records to your Target Store’s server or hosting provider. This is what redirects visitors from your old URL to your newly migrated store.
- Set up redirects for your old URLs: Redirect the links to your old product or category pages so they automatically forward visitors to their corresponding pages on your new store.
- Allow time for DNS propagation. Domain changes can take anywhere from a few hours to 48 hours to fully take effect across the internet, depending on your DNS provider.
We recommend timing this switch during a lower-traffic period for your store, and keeping your Source Store accessible in the background until you’ve confirmed your Target Store is fully stable.
