Frequently Asked Questions about Amazon CloudFront + Shopify integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Amazon CloudFront and Shopify

How do I integrate Amazon CloudFront with Shopify?

Integrating Amazon CloudFront with Shopify involves setting up a CDN distribution through your AWS Management Console, configuring your store URL as the custom origin, and adjusting settings to cache content effectively. You’ll need to ensure that DNS settings are correctly propagated and SSL certificates are managed either through CloudFront or another provider.

Can I use custom domains with Amazon CloudFront on my Shopify store?

Yes, you can use custom domains. You'll configure the alternate domain names in your CloudFront distribution settings in the AWS Management Console and validate your DNS settings. Ensure you have a corresponding CNAME entry in your domain registrar pointing to the CloudFront distribution.

What should I consider about caching behavior when using CloudFront with Shopify?

When setting up caching behavior, you need to configure rules in CloudFront that determine how content is cached based on URL patterns, HTTP headers, or query strings. Proper setup prevents serving outdated data and ensures shop updates propagate quickly.

How do SSL certificates work between Amazon CloudFront and Shopify?

For SSL certificates, you have options such as AWS Certificate Manager which seamlessly integrates with CloudFront. It’s crucial that these certificates match your domain’s setup on Shopify to maintain user trust and secure transactions.

Is it possible to purge cache on demand for my Shopify store through Amazon CloudFront?

Yes, it's possible to purge cache on demand using invalidation paths in the AWS Management Console. This feature allows us to force an update of cached files so any critical updates can be immediately reflected across global edge locations.

What are common troubleshooting steps if my Shopify site isn’t loading properly with CloudFront?

Common troubleshooting steps include verifying DNS configurations, ensuring SSL certificates are valid and correctly set up, checking for misconfigured caching rules that might cause stale content issues, and ensuring your router origin in AWS matches the storefront path used by Shopify.

Do changes made in my Shopify store automatically reflect through Amazon CloudFront?

While most changes should reflect automatically due to cache expiry settings configured in Cloud Front distributions, certain updates might require manual cache invalidation for immediate effect. Keep an eye on how frequently content updates are needed and adjust accordingly.
