Remove domain from Cloudflare, move the NS to Shopify and its blocked!

What is the name of the domain?

https://www.misradia.co.il/

What is the issue you’re encountering

The website is not connected to Shopify

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

We are facing a very serious issue, and I urgently need your help!!

We migrated Misradia’s website to a Shopify store. I attempted to connect the domain, but we found that it does not support Cloudflare, so we disconnected it from there. The domain is supposed to be managed through Domain The Net.

Shopify response:

I had a look into the DNS records and Cloudflare status and even though you mentioned that you have disconnected the domain from Cloudflare yourself more than 24 hours ago, upon investigating from our end, there is a block on your domain on the Cloudflare end which is preventing us to issue the SSL certificates.

Thank you in advance for your urgent attention to this matter.

Your domain isn’t using Cloudflare directly at this time.

If there are any issues with your domain, that would need to be solved by the Shopify support.

I’m not aware of any problems using Cloudflare DNS with Shopify, except for an erroneous warning that Shopify displays to some users.

Please see Shopify answer:

This is Jem from Shopify. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach us out earlier!

With your concern, we can indeed verify that the domain is still attached to a Cloudflare that we cannot remove on our end. Only your domain provider can do this for you. If you’ll check this website, you’ll see that the Server Type is labeled as Cloudflare. This is something that you need to discuss with your domain provider as our tools cannot remove this given that this is already a 3rd party.

That’s correct. It’s because Shopify uses Cloudflare for all of their stores. If you go to shopify.com, it will also say Server: cloudflare in the site headers.

Right now, as their error message tells you, the problem is with the Shopify settings:

Thank you Laudian,
We have talked with Shopify Plus 10 times, its the last 3 days, They said all the configuration is configured properly on their side. And the issue is on Cloudflare…
Im already confused, and very Frustrated by this situation
The site has been down for 3 days and Shopify is referring me to you
I sent 4 emails and opened a ticket and no one has gotten back to me. There is no chat and there is simply no one to talk to…

In DNS Checker is see that A is pointing to 23.227.38.74 - which is Cloudflare

hi ! @tech7

have you disabled cname flattening & dnssec under DNS → Settings?

I can understand your frustration.

I would recommend you try to remove the domain and add it to Shopify again. Please let me know if that doesn’t work.

This is the address of shops.myshopify.com:

dig +short shops.myshopify.com
23.227.38.74

I dont have the Domain there, because I deleted it…

we had same issue. was caused by having cname flattening enabled in CF. set it back up and see if disabling it resolves it for you

Its should works immediately?

Yes, I would think so.

Just to be sure - You said to add the domain to Cloudflare again, and then go to DNS Setting and disabled cname flattening & dnssec from there?

@Laudian - I deleted the domain, and did again - “Add existing domain”
Now its on verify mode…

If you add the domain back to Cloudflare, can you create a support ticket (category: Account) and share the ticket number here?
Someone from Cloudflare support indicated they might be able to help you directly, but for that you would have to prove the domain is yours by adding it back to your Cloudflare account.

I have 2 more domains there, and I opened a ticket, sent emails… but didnt got answer yet.

If you share the ticket numbers here, I can ask someone to take a look at it.

This is helping?

This is the email that related to the ticket: [email protected] (And the account)

No. I don’t know why you filed an abuse report, but you will need to create a support ticket. Click on Support and Contact Cloudflare in the top right corner of your Cloudflare dashboard.

And support will only be able to help (if they are able at all) with domains that are currently active in your Cloudflare account.
