Can I reuse my domain after account termination?

My account was terminated, violating section 7 of Shopify acceptable use policy. I read the policy and I still do not understand how I violated the policy, and all effort to appeal has proven abortive. What will happen to the domain connected to the store? Can I still use it on a new store, or does this mean I’ll have to buy a new domain, different from my registered business domain? I am asking because I no longer have access to this store

Hi @Amarachi1 ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community.

I can definietly understand the impact of this and would be happy to share some guidance on how you can retreieve your domain.

If you have purchased a custom domain from Shopify, you can connect with us directly to have it transferred to another domain provider. This will allow our support team to take a closer look, as we wouldn’t have access to any account details through the Community.

The connect with us, you can:

  • Head over to our Help Center.

  • In the virtual assistance chat box, please type I can’t log in.

  • This will populate a few resources, where you can wait a few moments until you see the I still need help option.

  • Click Account Support.

  • Scroll down until you see the option to chat with an advisor.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns.
