I know it's possible to cloak urls, I just don't know how. I know you can forward your own domain name to your storenvy store but i want the url to say either my domain or some other short url.

Yes, how do you do this?
like my store's url?
If I go to your store, Kelly, it still has the Storenvy URL. Maybe it depends on how to get to your store?
You can cloak it but as soon as they click on a link it will revert to the storenvy URL, also it could possibly cause problems with favorites.
The best way to do it is to simple do an A record redirect to the storenvy URL.
Wait, what? I don't have the storenvy url. Even if you type in cure.storenvy.com it changes.
@Kelly. I just double checked for you, and you do not have the Storenvy url. The first time I looked you did, but not anymore. Must have been a hiccup.
So, Kelly, how'd you do that?
Kelly is testing out a feature that we're going to be offering later in the summer. Custom domains will be available to everyone soon!
Wishing I didn't pay 11 dollars for a domain from Go Daddy now! haha
Oh, you'll still need to register your own domain with GoDaddy or someone for it to work. So that wasn't a waste. :-)
don't go through godaddy, they are way to expensive. When you add so many features it just skyrockets! I went through inmotion webhosting, and was able to snag one for way less.
such a sweet feature
I didn't pay for anything but the domain name, I don't need hosting since Storenvy is so kind as to take care of that for us =)
But, I am glad it wasn't a waste!
Awesome, thats a really cool feature!
@Kelly, nice looking shop, did you do the css yourself?
Thanks Lurid. Yeah I've been messing around with it for so long. I think I'm happy with the way it is now :)
I would like to use my own domain - basically store.mydomain.com instead of mystore.storeenvy.com.
Where can I do this?
Thanks!
We'll be rolling this feature out to everyone this fall -- stay tuned! :)
any advance on this? does anyone know when this will be rolled out?
Agreed... this is basically the only missing feature keeping me from switching my clients to Storenvy.
Any update on this feature? Thanks.
Out of curiosity, how do we go about getting on a list to test this new feature as well as other future features? I spend my daytime job working for a large website and would actually enjoy putting my QA skills I've gathered towards something I'm a little bit more passionate about.
you can always forward people from one url to your storenvy site. super easy
Would love to use this feature. This is the one thing stopping me from moving from shopify.
Since this is 9 months old, can we get an update as to whether personal domains can be used? It's kind of a deal breaker for SEO.
Agree. Please tell us how to do this.
Thanks,
Nathan
