Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Canva Pro to publish on a custom Namecheap domain?
Canva allows free users to purchase domains through Canva, while connecting an external third-party domain like Namecheap requires an active Canva Pro, Teams, or Education plan.
Does connecting my domain to Shopify break my custom business email?
No. Leaving your MX and SPF TXT records untouched in Namecheap Advanced DNS keeps your @yourdomain.com email working while web traffic routes to Shopify.
