hi ,i need help.. i want to share my store link to my friends and the public but have totally failed to find the link, how do i find it thanks
Topic summary
Main issue: A merchant cannot find the correct store URL to share with friends/public.
Key guidance provided:
- Your default Shopify store URL follows the format your-store-name.myshopify.com (spaces become dashes). You can see it after logging into the Shopify admin.
- An email sent at store creation includes this URL. A screenshot was shared to illustrate where the URL appears in the admin (image is central to the instructions).
Important caveat:
- If the account is on the Shopify Lite plan (USD $9/month), it does not include the Online Store sales channel, so there’s no storefront link to share. Live support was recommended to verify the plan and features.
User follow-ups:
- The original poster still couldn’t locate the link and asked for a video tutorial.
- Another user noted their admin URL showed an unexpected string (“uki3nu”) instead of the shop name, adding to confusion about the URL format.
Status/next steps:
- No final resolution yet. Suggested actions: contact Shopify live support and/or share a full-screen admin screenshot to confirm the URL and plan status.
Hello @Ladybutterfly !
Your Shopify store URL will be in the format [your-shop-name].myshopify.com and is the default URL provided to you by Shopify when you first created your store.
If you can’t remember your shop URL you can find it by logging into your Shopify admin.
After logging into your Shopify admin, your URL should display your store URL:
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

thank you so much but for sure i have failed to allocate it so i can share it for clients, is there away you could so a video may be in that way it could help.thank you.
I understand that you are struggling to find your store’s URL. I’d be happy to help you with that!
When you create your online store you are provided a Shopify hosted store domain created from the business name you provided it will look something like: your-store-name.myshopify.com. If your business name had spaces in it, the spaces are turned to dashes. When your store was created an email was sent to your account owner email address providing that URL for you.
If your store is created using the Shopify Lite Plan ($9 USD a month) it will not have the Online Store sales channel and that means that you would not have an online store for your customers to shop on. If you aren’t sure if that is the case, the best thing to do is to reach out to our live support so that they can help check that for you.
You can also share a full screen screenshot of your store’s admin page and we can help you confirm if that is the case here as well.
If we can help with anything else, please let me know.
