An A record (Address record) is a type of DNS record that connects a domain name to an IPv4 address.
For example, an A record can tell DNS servers that:
example.com→203.0.113.10In Shopify, an A record can be used when connecting a custom domain to a Shopify store. The domain provider’s DNS settings need to contain the appropriate A record value specified by Shopify.
A records are important because they help determine where a domain’s web traffic should be directed.
