Feature Availability: ALL PLANS

Prosperna Free plan accounts come with a free subdomain that allows you to have your own store URL. To make it even more personalized, you can get a unique store domain as a web address. You can acquire a personalized domain through a third-party provider, and that's where you can manage your settings, pay a subscription, and maintain and renew your domain account.

Why is it important? Changing your domain customizes your URL, so when someone enters your web address on a browser, this leads to your Prosperna website/online store.
