Do You Get Your Own Domain With Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 5:17 am

When you sign up for Shopify, you have the option to use a free domain name, or you can purchase your own domain name. If you choose to use a free domain name, it will be in the format of yourshop.myShopify.com.

If you purchase your own domain name, you can use it with or without the .com extension. For example, if you own the domain name myshop.com, you can use it as myshop.com or www.com/myshop.

If you decide to purchase your own domain name, we recommend that you use a domain registrar such as Google Domains or GoDaddy. These registrars allow you to set up custom DNS settings for your domain, so that it points to Shopify’s servers. You can find instructions on how to do this in our Help Center.

Once you have purchased your domain and set up the DNS settings, you can add it to your Shopify store from the Domains page in your Shopify admin.
