Does changing the domain name of Shopify affect payment? What should I pay attention to?

Shopify is an independent website with its own characteristics. You only need to build a website on it to sell various products. If merchants want to open a store here, they want to set up a domain name. So, will Shopify's change of domain name affect payment?

Does changing the domain name of Shopify affect payment?

There is no impact, but it is recommended not to change it at will, because the main target of promotion is your website address (domain name). However, the domain name at the time of registration is automatically generated by the platform based on the seller's store name. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the platform's products, it is usually not possible to change it at will after it is established.

The domain name during registration can be used to log in to the merchant's store and identify the seller's account when contacting the platform customer service, so it cannot be modified; even if the merchant subsequently changes the name of the Shopify store, the domain name will not change, so everyone should confirm whether the store name filled in during registration is correct at the beginning.

Regardless of whether the merchant has a custom domain name, the Shopify domain name will always be displayed in the address bar, that is, the buyer visits the store through the online store, which also displays this domain name.

What to watch out for?

1. First, you need to pass the platform certification or purchase the domain name from a third party.

2. Secondly, in the background of the platform, add the domain name and all subdomains to be used for the store.

3. Then you need to set the merchant’s root domain name and subdomain name.

4. Before setting the primary domain name, merchants must remember to ensure that the status of the domain name is correct and valid; after the setting is completed, it will take about 4 hours for the newly set primary domain name to be fully used.

5. If you are using the Shopify package or a more advanced package and an international domain name, other domain names will most likely be displayed.

If you want to become a member of Shopify, you need to have a certain understanding of various policies before joining, so as not to cause more trouble during the operation. At the same time, special attention should also be paid to product optimization. Only qualified products and high-quality services can keep the store running.
