Hi, I just bought a domain but at the last moment I realized it would be better to change it to another one that would be easier to remember. When the new one will be changed on your system, please? Thanks, Cristina Pruett
Hi @Cpjewelryco !
Welcome to the Shopify Community Christina!
Thanks for posting your query, and I’ll do my best to advise you on this.
In regard to Shopify managed domains, domains are considered non-tangible, irrevocable digital goods which are not exchangeable or transferrable. Once a domain is purchased, it belongs to the buyer for the year ahead and cannot be refunded or edited. This is outlined in the ‘ Domain Registration Agreement’ here, which is presented at the time of domain purchase.
In this case, the only option would be to purchase a different domain with the correct information. You can learn more about adding a new domain here.
If you don’t want your current domain subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to cancel your Shopify-managed domain, then you can deactivate automatic renewal in your Shopify admin, by following my below steps;
-
From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Domains .
-
Click the domain that you want to configure.
-
In the Auto-renew section, clear Auto-renew this domain every year.
-
After you deactivate automatic renewal, your domain expires at the end of the registration period. If you don’t want your domain to expire, then you need to enable automatic renewal before the expiry date.
I can see that you’re getting prepared to launch your store, that is exciting! I’d recommend having a look over our pre-launch checklist here, before you go live with your store!
