Your own web address (.co.za) and email

Your free web address

Every shop gets a free address like be-magical.sellnownow.co.za. It keeps working, even once you have your own.

Need a different free address? Send “talk to a person” and we'll change it for you.

Register a .co.za

Check if the name you want is free, and register it in your name for R150 for the first year.

1. 1Open More → Web address & email and tap “Register a new one”.
2. 2Type the name you'd like and tap Check.
3. 3Fill in who it's registered to. A domain is registered in the owner's name, so the registry needs your details. Only your business name shows publicly.
4. 4Pay with the link. As soon as it's paid, we register it in your name and switch your website over, usually within the hour.

Until it's paid, anyone else can still register it, so don't wait too long: we hold it for you for a week.

After the first year it renews at R150 a year. We remind you before then.

You can also choose one when you sign up: you pay after your shop is made, and your shop is ready either way.

Connect a domain you already have

1. 1Open More → Web address & email and tap “I already have a domain”.
2. 2Type your domain: just the name, without www.
3. 3Where should your shop open? At shop.bemagical.co.za (anything already at bemagical.co.za, like your website, stays as it is), at bemagical.co.za itself (your shop takes its place), or another address you choose.
4. 4Tap “Connect it”. We email and WhatsApp you short instructions: one or two changes to the domain records, at the place where your domain is looked after.

Someone looks after your domain for you? Forward them the instructions: send this to your IT person. Doing it yourself? Sign in where you pay for your domain, open the domain records and make the changes in the instructions.

Your shop works at its free address until then, and shows “Not active yet” in your back office. We keep checking, switch your shop over by ourselves once the change is in, and let you know. Changes can take from a few minutes to a day to come through.

At shop.bemagical.co.za your email isn't touched. For bemagical.co.za itself, we warn you first if your email uses the same records as your website.

Lost the instructions? Tap “View instructions” in your back office, or send “domain instructions”.

Emails from your shop

Emails to your customers (slips, invoices and order confirmations) come from your shop's name at our address, so there's nothing to set up. That stays the same once you have your own domain. When a customer replies, it comes to your own email.
