Setting up your Custom Domain
Last updated: August 9, 2021
You can now use your own custom domain for your Payhip store. This helps you keep your branding consistent so that customers recognise that they’re purchasing from you.
You don’t have to use custom domains to sell with Payhip, but we think it looks more professional and keeps things consistent for your customers.
Custom domains are available for all user accounts for free. There’s no extra charge to connect a custom domain to your Payhip store.
We’re able to support connecting both root domains and subdomains. For example, you might want to connect “johndoe.com” or “shop.johndoe.com” to use as your Payhip store.
To get started with connecting your custom domain to Payhip:
- Login to your account
- Click on the “Store” link on the header
- Then click on the “Domains” tab
- Follow these instructions for the most popular DNS providers like GoDaddy, Bluehost and the likes.
Or click this direct link to add a domain (you must be logged in for this direct link to work).
And if you get into any trouble at all or just want to make sure it’s all set up correctly, we’re here to help.
Happy selling!! 🎉

I’m really enthusiastic, I want to sell my fictions, articles and poems on payhip.
Hi Said, we look forward to seeing your work on Payhip. 🙂
Hi Abs,
as I can’t wait to integrate my own Favicon into my payhip-website, when will this feature approximately launch? 😀
Keep the great work up!!
Hi Patrick, thank you for the kind words. No ETA yet for the Favicon, but it is high on the list! 🙂
Hi, do I need to have domain? Was hoping that could just sell only from payhip just like etsy works
Hi Alicja, there is no requirement to have a domain to use Payhip. You can have your store under our domain. Once you are ready, you can then add your own domain.
It’s a great idea that we offer domains and it might be something we offer in the future, but at the moment we are focusing on improving the platform itself.
Hi Abs,
When the custom domain is used for the store, what does it look like? Is there an option of including blog posts or is it the Payhip store “container” with a custom domain?
Hi Liz,
When you launch your site with Payhip, it will be payhip.com/storename at first but if you eventually connect a custom domain, you can have your Payhip store shown under storename.com. To learn more, this article can help: Custom Domain.
And yes, sellers can customize product URLs from payhip.com/b/ABCD to payhip.com/b/my-product-page only if you have a custom domain enabled. 🙂
