Why Does My Shopify Store Say Coming Soon?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:47 pm

There are a few reasons your Shopify store might say “Coming Soon.”

The first reason is that you haven’t launched your store yet. To launch your store, go to Settings > General > Launch.

If you’ve launched your store but you’re still seeing the “Coming Soon” page, it’s likely because you have the password protection feature turned on. To turn off password protection, go to Settings > General > Password protection.

Another reason you might see the “Coming Soon” page is if you’re using a domain that’s not connected to Shopify. To fix this, connect your domain to Shopify:

  • If you bought your domain from Shopify: Go to Settings > Domains > Connect existing domain.
  • If you bought your domain from another registrar: Go to Settings > Domains > Add custom domain.

PRO TIP: If you see the message “Coming Soon” on your Shopify store, it means that the store owner has not yet launched their online store. Launching a store can take a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the store and the number of products. Once the store is launched, the message will be replaced with the store’s normal home page.
