Hey guys,
Hope you’re well today.
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can change my .myshopify.com address (see pic) on my dashboard? I originally set it up for another business idea.
Thanks in advance all!
Hi @memax ,
June here from Shopify. Thanks for your question and congratulations on your new business!
Since your .myshopify.com URL acts as a unique account identifier on our end, it is not possible to edit that address. That said, your customers will not need to see it, if that is your main concern.
As most businesses choose to purchase a custom domain, this will become the only address known or visible to your customers. Unlike your .myshopify.com domain, your custom domain (for example www.yourbrandname.com) can be changed at any time and can be used to easily identify your brand with your customers. Do you already own a custom domain for your new business? If not I’ll be happy to give you a hand getting that set up!
If for any reason you really would prefer to have a new .myshopify.com URL, your best option will be to start a new account altogether (you can sign up for a new 14-day trial here). If you do decide to go with this option, we have options to transfer some of your current account’s data over to your new one: Backups and duplication.
Definitely let me know how I can help or if you have any questions!
Thanks June.
