What is a blockchain domain?

Blockchain domains (also called Web3 domains, crypto domains, or NFT domains) are digital assets stored on the blockchain that you truly own. Unlike traditional domains that require annual renewal fees, blockchain domains are a one-time purchase with perpetual ownership.

Do I really never have to pay renewal fees?

Correct—zero renewal fees, ever. When you mint a domain from GotTLDs, you pay once (starting at $49 for most TLDs) and own it for life. There are no hidden fees, no annual charges, no surprise price increases.

Which blockchain are these domains on?

GotTLDs domains are built on Freename's enterprise blockchain infrastructure, which uses Polygon (an Ethereum Layer 2 solution) for fast, low-cost transactions.

Can I transfer or sell my domain later?

Absolutely! Your blockchain domain is an NFT, which means it's a fully transferable digital asset. You can sell it on NFT marketplaces, transfer it to another wallet, gift it to someone, or include it in your estate planning.

.liveshop domains give you instant credibility in this exploding channel. And because they are blockchain domains on Freename (ERC-721 NFTs), you pay once and own them forever — zero renewals.

This guide shows you the exact process to connect your .liveshop domain to Shopify and enable Web3 wallet payments. Everything is permanent and uses your existing GotTLDs features (Web3 DNS + wallet resolution).

Prerequisites (2 minutes)

✓You already own a .liveshop domain purchased on GotTLDs (starts at $49, one-time)
✓Shopify account (any plan)
✓MetaMask or any Web3 wallet
✓5–10 minutes of your time

No coding required. No annual fees. Works on Base L2 via Freename.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Confirm Your .liveshop Domain is Minted

Log into your Freename dashboard (redirected from GotTLDs). Verify the domain is in your wallet and the NFT is active. This is permanent ownership — no renewals ever.

Set DNS Records in Freename Dashboard (The Most Important Step)

In the Freename dashboard for your .liveshop domain:

▸ Go to DNS Records / Management section
▸ Add an A record:

• Host: @
• Points to: 23.227.38.65 (Shopify's IPv4 address)

▸ Add a CNAME record:

• Host: www
• Points to: shops.myshopify.com

Save the records. This bridges your Web3 domain to traditional hosting. Changes usually propagate in 5–60 minutes.

Add Custom Domain in Shopify

In Shopify admin:

▸ Settings → Domains → Connect existing domain
▸ Enter yourname.liveshop
▸ Follow Shopify's verification (usually automatic DNS check)

Shopify will now serve your store at your .liveshop address. This is the same process brands use for any custom domain — but yours never expires.

Enable Web3 Wallet Payments

On your Shopify store:

▸ Install a free Web3 payment app (e.g., MetaMask Pay, Coinbase Commerce, or Polygon/Base native)
▸ In checkout settings, enable crypto payments

Now customers can pay by simply sending to yourname.liveshop instead of a long 0x address. This works instantly because of Freename wallet resolution.

Test & Go Live

▸ Open your .liveshop domain in Chrome/Firefox (with Web3 DNS enabled)
▸ Run a test live stream or product page
▸ Test a wallet payment
▸ Check mobile experience (40-minute average watch time means people stay)

Your live shopping store is now running on a permanent, blockchain-secured domain.
