The thing is user can point their store with their own domain(can be registered with any providers like Godaddy,Dreamhost) instead of subdomain.

Google the term 'wildcard subdomain'. I haven't tried to set this up myself, but that's what it's called. You'd set that up at the DNS+Apache layer, with all subdomains pointed at a single Rails application. There are multi-tenancy examples in Rails that follow this structure, I believe. There's a recipe in Rails Composer for it, you might want to check that out.
