Your store on your own link, not a page inside someone else's platform
The moment you sign up, your store is live at yourstore.hekana.com — a link you can put in a bio and send to a customer today, on every plan. When you move to a paid plan you can connect your own domain (e.g. mystore.com) with a CNAME record and the security certificate is issued for you. No domain? Buy one from inside the dashboard — you see the full price before you pay.
What it actually does
A subdomain that's ready to go
yourstore.hekana.com works immediately, with a security certificate and no configuration. It is the same link used in your order messages, your QR codes and your review links.
Connect your own domain
On paid plans, connect your domain (e.g. mystore.com) with a CNAME and a TXT record — the steps are shown in both Arabic and English and verified with one click. The certificate is issued automatically. Growth connects one domain; Business and Advanced let you connect several and choose which is primary.
Buy a domain from inside the platform
Search a name, see its full price before you pay, buy it, and manage its DNS records from the same place. On a yearly Growth, Business or Advanced plan, one .com domain is free for its first year.
How the store looks
Ready-made templates you preview before installing, and a visual editor for sections, colours and fonts. Edits are saved as a draft, and nothing changes in front of your customers until you press publish.
How it works
Pick your store's name
It becomes yourstore.hekana.com, and you can start selling on it without anything else.
Set the look
Install a template and edit it, previewing the result before you publish.
Connect your domain, on a paid plan
In Settings → Domains: add the domain, put the records in at your domain provider, and press verify.
Publish
The store becomes visible to customers and indexable by Google.
Who this is for
- Anyone just starting who wants a link they can sell on today, not next month.
- A brand that already owns a domain and wants the store to run on it.
- Stores selling only on social who need one fixed place for the catalogue.
- Anyone who does not want to deal with hosting, certificates or servers.
Common questions
Does the SSL certificate cost anything?
No. It is issued and renewed automatically for both the subdomain and your own domain.
How long does a domain take to activate?
After you add the records, activation usually takes anywhere from minutes to a few hours depending on your domain provider and DNS propagation. The domain page shows you the status as it changes.
What if I change my mind about the domain?
yourstore.hekana.com keeps working permanently, so you can remove or swap your own domain without the store going down.
Can I connect a domain I bought elsewhere?
Yes, with a CNAME record and without transferring ownership. Buying through Hekana is an option, not a requirement.
Is a domain included?
You can connect your own domain (e.g. mystore.com) on any paid plan, or buy one from your dashboard — you see the full price before you pay. Your store always works free on yourstore.hekana.com. On a yearly Growth, Business or Advanced plan, one .com domain is free for its first year (premium .com names are at the normal price). From the second year you renew it yourself at the normal renewal price, and nothing renews automatically unless you turn auto-renew on.
