Hello @Aathiranair ,
This is Gina from flareAI app helping Shopify merchants get $6Million+ in sales from Google Search, on autopilot.
If your desired new brand name is “hot” and the domain www.hot.com is available for registration, you can change your domain from www.cold.com to www.hot.com without starting from scratch. Here’s how you can do it in Shopify.
→ Register the new domain
Purchase the domain www.hot.com from a domain registration service like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Shopify domain registration.
→ Add the new domain to Shopify
In your Shopify admin dashboard, go to “Online Store” and then “Domains.” Click on “Connect existing domain” and enter www.hot.com. Follow the instructions provided to connect the domain to your Shopify store.
→ Set the new domain as the primary domain
In the “Domains” section, locate the new domain (www.hot.com) and click on “Make primary.” This ensures that your store will be accessible through the new domain.
→ Update your store name and branding
In the “Settings” > “General” section of your Shopify admin, update your store name, logo, and any other branding elements to reflect your new brand, “hot.”
→ Customize your theme
Modify your existing theme or select a new one that aligns with your new brand. Adjust colors, fonts, and other design elements in the “Themes” section of your Shopify admin to match your new brand identity.
→ Redirect old domain (optional)
If you want to redirect traffic from the old domain (www.cold.com) to the new one (www.hot.com), you can set up URL redirects in the “Online Store” > “Navigation” section of your Shopify admin. This will automatically redirect visitors from the old domain to the corresponding pages on the new domain.
→ Review and update content
Go through your website content, including product pages, collections, and blog posts, to update any instances of the old brand name, URLs, and references to reflect the new brand, “hot.”
Remember to inform your customers and stakeholders about the rebranding and the change in the domain name so they can update their bookmarks and contact information accordingly.
Let me know if you require any further guidance.
