Can I effectively change my .myshopify.com URL to a new one?

Hi there,

I was wondering if there is any explanation for being able to change .myshopify.com URL although in reality, nothing is happening because the old one is still there. So how can I put the new one in a useful situation?

I looked up the very same question in the community and what has been said there is that you can change your URL just one time, but you cannot remove it. So, what is the point? I really did NOT get it.

Hi @AM20

Shopify store domain cannot be changed and I also recommend you use your own domain instead of shopify store domain. You can check this to learn how to add your own domain to Shopify store

Hi @AM20 ,

This is David at SalesHunterThemes.

The Shopify store domain is fixed and it’s advisable to opt for your personalized domain rather than relying on the default Shopify store domain.

Hello @AM20 :waving_hand:

The .myshopify.com domain cannot be changed. But it is only useful for store development. In production, you should always use a premium domain like yourstore.com. That being said, you should not care much about the .myshopify.com

To configure a professional domain, please read this article from Shopify Add a domain

Thank you very much. Actually, I do not have any problem assigning a custom domain. It is just I was wondering about the purpose of being able to change your .myshopify.com URL domain with no apparent usage of it.

Hi David_SHT,

Thanks a lot. Thank you very much. Indeed, I do not have any problem assigning a custom domain. It is just I was wondering about the purpose of being able to change your .myshopify.com URL domain with no apparent usage of it.

.myshopify.com domain cannot be changed and this domain uses to develop store and will not appear to customer if you added your own domain

Thanks a lot, ZenoPageBuilder
