How Do I Get a Custom URL on Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 2:11 am

If you’re running a Shopify store, you know how important it is to have a good URL. A custom URL can make your store look more professional and can help customers find your store more easily.

Luckily, Shopify makes it easy to set up a custom URL for your store. Here’s how:

1. Log in to your Shopify account. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up for a free trial. 2.

Click on the “Online Store” link in the left-hand sidebar. 3. Click on the “Domains” link in the middle of the screen.

At this point, you have two options:

Option 1: Add a Domain

If you don’t have a domain yet, you can buy one through Shopify. Just click on the “Add Domain” button and follow the instructions.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about changing your Shopify URL to a custom one, there are a few things you should know first. A custom URL can make your store look more professional, and it can be easier to remember than a long, random URL. However, it’s important to choose your custom URL carefully, because once it’s set up, you can’t change it without losing all of your existing traffic and search engine ranking.

Option 2: Connect an Existing Domain

If you already have a domain, you can connect it to your Shopify store. Just click on the “Connect Existing Domain” button and follow the instructions.

4. Once you’ve added or connected your domain, click on the “Manage Domains” link. This will take you to a page where you can see all of your store’s domains.

5. Click on the domain that you want to use as your custom URL. This will take you to the “Domain Settings” page for that domain.

6. Under “Domain Status”, select “Make Primary Domain” from the drop-down menu. This will make sure that this domain is used as your primary URL.

And that’s it! You now have a custom URL for your Shopify store.
