How do domain names work with Shopify?

Domain names are the foundation of any website and Shopify is no different. A domain name is what your customers will type in to find your store and it is how you will be known online. You can think of it as your store’s address on the internet.

PRO TIP: -Domain names with Shopify can be a bit confusing and may not work the way you expect them to. Be sure to read the Shopify documentation on domain names carefully before setting up your store.

Every Shopify store comes with a free subdomain, which looks like this: your-store.myShopify.com. While this is a great way to get started, we recommend that you eventually upgrade to a custom domain name. Custom domain names are easier for your customers to remember and they help build your brand online.
