How Do I Change My Shopify Admin URL?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:33 pm

If you’re running a Shopify store, it’s important to keep your admin URL secure. By default, your Shopify admin is accessible at a URL that includes your shop’s name. For example, if your shop’s domain is example.myShopify.com, your admin URL would be example.com/admin.

While this default URL is secure, it’s not impossible for someone to guess it. If you’re concerned about the security of your Shopify admin, you can change the URL to something that’s harder to guess. In this article, we’ll show you how to change your Shopify admin URL in just a few steps.

Step 1: Log in to your Shopify account and go to Online Store > Preferences.

Step 2: In the Store address section, click Change address.

Step 3: Enter the new URL for your Shopify admin in the Admin address field. Make sure to include https:// at the beginning of the URL. For example, if you want your new admin URL to be myshopifystore.com/admin, you would enter https://myshopifystore.com/admin in the field.

PRO TIP: If you are considering changing your Shopify admin URL, be aware that this could have consequences for your store and your customers. Your store’s URL is the address that customers use to access your shop, and if you change it, they may no longer be able to find or reach your store. In addition, any links or references to your store that have been shared with customers or other businesses will no longer work, and could result in lost traffic and sales.

Step 4: Click Save.

That’s it! You’ve successfully changed your Shopify admin URL.

From now on, you’ll need to use the new URL whenever you want to access your store’s backend. We recommend bookmarking the new URL for easy access in the future.

Conclusion:

To change your Shopify admin URL, simply follow the steps outlined in this article. Once you’ve changed the URL, be sure to bookmark it for easy access in the future.
