Getting my domain back

Topic summary

A user reopened a Shopify store after previously closing one and wants to reclaim their original domain name.

Current Status:

  • The original store was closed
  • A new store has been opened
  • The user seeks to transfer the old domain to the new store

Suggested Solution:
Another participant advised checking with the original domain provider (registrar) where the domain was purchased, as domains can typically be reclaimed or transferred directly through the provider rather than through Shopify.

Next Steps:
The discussion remains open, awaiting clarification on which registrar holds the domain and whether it’s still owned by the user or has expired.

I previously had a store that was closed. I have recently opened a new store and would like my original domain name back.

May I know where you purchased the original domain before? You can get the original domain back from domain provider actually.
