🌐 Managing Domains & SSL

Your store’s domain and SSL setup are crucial for accessibility, branding, and customer trust. WC Studio makes it simple to connect your own domain and automatically secure it with SSL.

​
📍 Go to: WC Studio → Stores → Select a Store → Manage → Domains

This section lets you manage:
  • Custom domains and subdomains

​
🌍 Domain Management

​
✅ Add a Custom Domain

To use your own domain (like yourstore.com):
  1. Navigate to the Domains tab.
  2. Click “Add Domain”.
  3. Enter your domain name (e.g., store.yourbrand.com).
  4. WC Studio will display DNS records (A, CNAME) to add to your domain registrar.
🛠 Once the DNS propagates, your domain will connect to your WC Studio store.

​
🔁 Set a Primary Domain

If you have multiple domains/subdomains:
  • Choose one as the primary domain.
  • WC Studio will automatically redirect all traffic from secondary domains to the primary one.
  • This helps with SEO and avoids duplicate content issues.

​
🆓 Default Subdomain

Every store also includes a free subdomain:
yourstore.wcstudio.com ✅ Useful for testing, development, or staging environments.

​
📍 Go to: WC Studio → Stores → Select a Store → Manage → SSL

This section lets you manage:
  • SSL certificates and HTTPS settings

​
🔒 SSL Certificate Setup

WC Studio provides automatic SSL installation through Let’s Encrypt for all domains — no configuration required.

​
✅ Auto SSL Installation

WC Studio automatically installs SSL certificates for both subdomains and custom domains via Let’s Encrypt.
  • No manual configuration is required.
  • Certificates are renewed automatically.
💡 Best Practice: For better SEO and customer trust, always keep HTTPS forced.

​
💡 Pro Tips

  • ✅ Verify DNS records using tools like whatsmydns.net if propagation is delayed.
  • ✅ Use your free WC Studio subdomain while setting up your store, then switch to your custom domain later.
  • ✅ Always force HTTPS for security, PCI compliance, and trust badges.
