How-To:
We strongly recommend having your webmaster assist you through this process - it can be tricky if you're not familiar with changing DNS / CNAME records.

Step 1: Update your CNAME Alias
Log into your domain registrar's Control Panel.
Select your website's domain.
Navigate to the DNS Settings page.
Select the appropriate page to modify your CNAME Records.
You will then need to fill in the Host* and Points To* fields of your screen. These are both unique to your store, and will be shared directly with you by your onboarding manager.
As an example, your Host & Points to fields should look something like this:
Host*: shopPoints To: store.olla.co
Save Changes.
Step 2: Confirmation & Final Steps
Contact our team at support@olla.co to confirm your set up is complete!
Note: DNS settings can take up to 72 hours to propagate; however, it's usually much, much, much faster.
