How to Change Your Shopify Store Name

So, you’re wondering if it’s possible to change the name of your Shopify store? Maybe you’re a few months into your new business venture and you don’t like the way your store sounds, or you’re looking to rebrand. 

Whatever the reason, below is a step-by-step guide on how to change the name of your Shopify store, wherever and whenever you want to.

Is my Shopify store name important?

When you create your Shopify account, you’re asked to choose a store name. The name you choose is then used to create your Shopify sub-domain in the following format: https://yourstorename.myshopify.com. This sub-domain is intended to be used for internal purposes, like logging into your Shopify account and setting up and managing your online store. 

You have the option of keeping this sub-domain as your public-facing URL, but we recommend using your own custom domain to build credibility and trust, one that is on brand and is memorable.
