Hey, @DreamVerse.

 

Thanks for reaching out and posting this question!

 

I understand that you've purchased a domain on Shopify a couple of months ago and you didn't use the page or store at all. If you'd like to transfer the custom domain to another Shopify store or transfer the custom domain to another domain provider, then we've got a step-by-step guide on these processes here: Transferring Shopify domains. However, it's important to note that the store.myshopify.com URL is not a custom domain so this wouldn't be transferable. 

 

As for changing the store name, you can change the online store name and contact details through the Store details settings of your Shopify admin. 

 

That being said, I'd love to hear more about your business and share some resources to help you get started. What types of products are you selling? Do you have a marketing plan prepared for your store?
