A new page will be open (see image below). Enter a Title for your new app, choose an App Category as "Website", Enter Site address and Base domain and click on Connect site.

This means, if you go to your website and then check the URL in the browser and the URL does look like http://www.domain.com then you need to enter the exact same URL. If your website URL is http://domain.com then you need to enter it that way, without using the www at the front of the name.
