Need help pointing CF hosted domain to my shift4 shop site again

What is the name of the domain?

mvpcardstore.com

What is the error number?

1000

What is the error message?

DNS points to prohibited IP

What is the issue you’re encountering

When trying to setup my Shift4 shop to point to my listed domain, it gives the 1000 error, and I can’t figure out which part is causing it.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I’m trying to help my dad with this. So far, we have followed the steps that are outlined on the Shift4 website’s guide, and we have even try to use a few different guides from third parties. None of them have solved it because they say to do the same things.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Trying to use the domain to go to the website will always result in the same error.

Screenshot of the error

Which name are you trying to connect to your store? mvpcardstore.com or www.mvpcardstore.com?

Edit: And could you share a screenshot of the records you have created on Cloudflare? It doesn’t look like you followed the guide from shift4shop.

mvpcardstore.com

You need to enter your domain in the name field of the A record, not your 3dcardstore subdomain.

Or you can just use an @ instead, which is a shortcut for your domain (mvpcardstore.com).

do i need to do anything for the www if someone types the www before mvpcardstore?

That depends on whether the store handles that automatically or not. We can look at that later.

The A records look good now. Did you already take the steps to add your domain to your store in their configuration (“Linking the domain”)?

This is what it shows me on his website under the settings. When I go to the domain settings to select manage DNS it comes up with a box stating that the tool doesn’t work for shared domains, and the page behind it doesn’t show any records. There is an option to add new records to it. I’ll include the relevant screenshots with this. It should be two parts so you’ll have to give me a second to send both.

Are you in the right menu? The menu in your screenshot looks similar, but not quite the same:

There is no primary domain, just custom, additional and ssl certificates.

Can you try to remove the domain from the store and add it again? If not, you’ll need to contact their support and ask why it’s not working. Your Cloudflare settings seem to be as they describe it in their guide.

how do i remove the mvpcardstore domain from the store?

I don’t know. I have never used that site.

ok thank you
