In a nutshell, after adding your custom domain through Wix website, you need to add Wix A and CNAME records or point the domain to Wix Name servers.

However, if your DNS provider is not listed above and you’re not sure how to do this, you may contact your domain registrar for further assistance instead.

Most of the time, Registrars can help with DNS configuration such as Adding  resource records or pointing to custom name servers.

If they can’t, they will at least tell you who you need to contact whether it’s a 3rd-party DNS provider or a Reseller.
