Buy a domain on Mrfqy without opening a store first

Many Arab founders register a domain the week they choose a brand name — months before the first SKU photo shoots. Mrfqy supports that workflow: buy and hold a domain in your account without creating a store, then assign it to a storefront when your catalog, payments, and shipping are ready. No forced bundle, no dummy store cluttering your dashboard.

Why merchants buy domains before stores

Influencer contracts and mall kiosk applications ask for a website URL — holding mybrand.com proves seriousness even if the site says coming soon.

Domain prices and availability shift — Egyptian merchants often lock .com during EGP stability windows; Gulf founders reserve before Ramadan ad bursts.

Separating domain purchase from store setup lets your designer work on packaging while operations configures Tap or Moyasar in parallel.

One Mrfqy login owns domains, future stores, and billing — no scattered registrar accounts when staff turnover hits.

Standalone purchase flow step by step

Search on mrfqy.com/domains or inside admin → Domains after login. Pick an available name and open checkout.

Complete platform billing — card or supported local method. The domain registers to your Mrfqy account, not to a specific store ID.

Status moves from pending registration to active — usually minutes, occasionally longer for certain TLD registry checks.

Your domain appears in My domains with assignment set to standalone (unassigned) until you choose storefront or custom DNS.

Your domain portfolio in admin

My domains lists every name on your account — registration date, expiry, status, and current assignment mode.

Filter mentally by project: one domain for your main boutique, another reserved for a Ramadan micro-brand, a third for corporate email experiments.

Renewal reminders align with platform billing — you see upcoming charges beside subscription invoices, not a forgotten registrar email in spam.

Multiple stores under one owner account can each receive different domains when you assign later — no need to buy duplicate accounts.

Assign to storefront when ready

Create your Mrfqy store on Starter when catalog work begins — free tier is enough while you connect payments and upload products.

Open the domain → Assignment panel → choose Connect to storefront and pick the store from your list.

Mrfqy shows the CNAME target to paste at your DNS host — if nameservers already point to Mrfqy, assignment is faster.

Until assignment, the domain can stay parked — your brand is secured even if the storefront still shows the default subdomain.

Billing, renewal, and ownership clarity

Domain charges appear in platform billing history — export-friendly for accountants tracking pre-launch expenses.

Auto-renewal follows your payment method on file — update card before expiry if you rotated corporate cards after audit season.

The domain remains yours within Mrfqy policy terms — assignment to a store does not transfer ownership to staff users.

If you pause a store subscription, the domain billing is separate — decide whether to keep the name for a future relaunch.

Working with agencies and co-founders

Buy under the legal entity email — agencies get staff invites with domains permission, not registrar passwords.

Document which domains are personal side projects versus company assets in your cap table appendix — avoids fights at scale.

Co-founders in different countries can search in local currency but should agree on one billing account to prevent orphan renewals.

Export a screenshot of My domains for investor data rooms — shows digital asset discipline early.

Search your name on mrfqy.com/domains, create a Mrfqy account, and checkout without starting a store. When products and payments are ready, assign the domain to your storefront in one admin panel.
