I have a website that was initially set up by a freelancer. He set it up, not realizing that we would not be able to change the admin domain - so now we’re stuck with whatever he chose (which is unrelated to our brand), think “iamdinosaur.myshopify”. I know it’s not a big deal (I guess) but it really bothers me every time i have to use it to to log into different apps etc.
As we are planning on re-doing our site with a new template, I’m wondering if there’s a way I can set up a completely new page - with my desired myshopify URL - but have the rest of my account details transferred, including my products, blog posts, pages etc.
Is that possible? Or would I need to start completely from scratch with the new site, if I want to get rid of this URL that is haunting me?
I want to change the admin URL. I have already set my domain so that my customers see the accurate URL/domain. However, on the backend, the “admin” URL (what was created when the site was initially set up), is wrong (as an example, “iamdinosaur.myshopify.com”). The customer does not see this. But I need to use it everytime I use any apps or integrations with my store). Hope that clarifies.
You could try and see if Shopify will change however I don’t believe they will, live with the admin URL, or create a new account / store with your desired admin URL.
