Hi @atifshop123
Yes you can, if you have not done the change before. Please follow the instructions below
- From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Settings” on your left hand bottom corner.
- Go to Domains. A window with your domain should open
- Under your domain you should have an option to change to a new myshopify.com domain, see image in green box.
Please don’t forget to Like and Mark Solution to the post that helped you. Thanks!
You can change your store domain appear with visitors by connect a domain in your store admin > Settings > Domains.
Hey, @Atifshop123!
While you can change your .myshopify.com URL once, it only changes what your customers will see when visiting your website. The original .myshopify.com URL, which is 75f236-3.myshopify.com in your case, will still be used by our support team for authentication purposes and for signing in to your admin. It will also be the URL that will be displayed in your admin.
If you would still like to update your .myshopify.com URL, you can do so by following the steps on this page, however, I do encourage buying a custom domain instead. Owning a custom domain brings many benefits for your business. To mention a few, a domain makes it easy for customers to remember your website, and it helps make your website appear professional and legitimate. You can learn more about the benefits and how to buy a custom domain on this page.
Just to clarify, are you wanting to update your myshopify URL for the purpose of changing the way it looks in the admin? Please let me know as I would love to let our platform development team know if this is the case. Your feedback and suggestions regarding our platform are always welcome!
Appreciate for your quick solutuion, so quick question basically i can customize my own URL name for my shopify website from there right, can i change that how many times i wanted??
Hi @Summer Great Stuff! if i purchase the custom domain then how custom domain differentiates with the use of changing on normal domain
Good question, [email removed]Atifshop123! As the name says, a custom domain is something you can create from scratch and customize to your liking. You can purchase a domain not just with your preferred name but your preferred suffix (e.g. .com, .net, .co.uk) as well.
When you customize the .myshopify.com domain, you can only customize the name that comes before .myshopify.com. Even though you set it to reflect your store name, the Shopify branding will be attached to it. To enhance your brand’s online presence, you ideally want customers to only associate your domain with your brand name.
I highly encourage buying a custom domain, however, if you have other questions to help you decide, let me know, and I’d love to further shed some light on custom domains!
