I bought a domain on Vercel Domains. I am trying to connect the domain to shopify. Apparently, Vercel doesnt hold the domain, it only manages it on Name.com. I have successfully pointed the DNS to Shopify, but since I can’t delete ALIAS from Vercel, I had to add Shopify A records to overwrite the Vercel default ALIAS. The issue is that, although DNS seems to be successful, the website is not loading. I have checked that the records have propagated but it still shows an error 403 Forbidden
There’s no “proxying” here, but name.com is one of the providers Vercel uses for domains
As soon as you set the nameservers to a non-vercel domain, the rest of the records set in Vercel stop mattering. The NS record guides DNS to look at Shopify and to use it as the source of truth for all other records, so while you can’t delete the ALIAS, it has no affect on DNS resolution
Your website appears to be resolving correctly now so perhaps it just took extra time for full propagation + SSL provisioning
