What is the easiest way to check when the website was first launched or created? I have had a look through the settings etc. and haven’t found the date anywhere as of now.
TIA.
Hi, @LSAccounting .
Thanks for reaching out and posting to the Shopify community!
After doing some digging on my end, I was not able to locate a section within the Shopify admin to find the shop creation date.
However, I did find this community post dated last year that shares the API code to input in order to find the shop creation date. If you’re comfortable inputting this code, you can follow the steps in the post. If not, I recommend looking into hiring an expert to help you add this code.
I’d love to learn more about your online business and what you’re working on at the moment. If you haven’t had a chance to yet, check out our Black Friday Checklist as it’s just around the corner. We’ve shared some great tips to help prepare your store for boosting your conversion rate, testing your checkout and increasing sales.
This answer is helpful, but the answer it links to is no longer accessible. I found similar instructions here on Stack Overflow, which I’ll copy below in case this link also disappears.
you can check the same using the REST API endpoint shop
you need to make a GET request using API to get the data about the shop.
This is the sample request code:
GET /admin/api/2021-01/shop.json
and here is the same request the contains the data about shop creation along with other data.
This is the other side of ridiculous. Why so hard??? It’s just a date. It should be easier than this. (Insert eye-roll here.)
LOL, I was looking at this again and realized that this answer is WAAAAY overcomplicated. 
All you need is to log into your store admin, then go to this URL:
https://admin.shopify.com/store/YOUR-SHOPIFY-DOMAIN/admin/api/2021-01/shop.json
The created date will be right there in the shop.json object as “created_at”.
