New to Shopify.
Is there any way to change the URL of my store from: Go Exploring (newaygogoexploring.myshopify.com) so it does not have “myshopify” as part of the URL?
Hey, @Brandmark .
Thank you for reaching out and posting this question!
I’m delighted to see that you were able to get some support from our community! To clarify, the myshopify.com URL was given to you by default when you signed up for Shopify. While you won’t be able to change the myshopify.com URL, you can consider buying a custom domain from Shopify or connecting a third-party domain to Shopify. Once you’ve purchased a custom domain or connected a third-party domain, you can simply change the primary domain of your store to the custom domain and visitors will no longer see the myshopify.com URL.
That being said, I’ve also taken the opportunity to look over your store (newaygogoexploring.myshopify.com) and I think you’re off to a great start. However, I think there’s some opportunities to add more content onto your homepage and a great way to do that is by using some of the other sections and blocks offered by your theme. For example, the Image with text overlay section is great for showcasing a single product or for telling your brand’s story. It’s also important to add store policies to the navigation menus as they can help address some of your customers’ concerns and help reduce the amount of inquiries from customers that would otherwise need to reach out to you directly.
Have you considered using something like Shopify Inbox to interact with customers live on your store? Also, do you have a marketing plan prepared for your store?
