How Do I Change My Shopify Store Name?
How to change your Shopify store name on either the Shopify app or admin website.
Why is a Shopify Store Name Important?
When you sign up for Shopify, you’re asked to choose a store name when creating an account. The store name you select is used to create your Shopify sub-domain in the format https://yourstorename.myshopify.com dynamically. 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 may keep this sub-domain as the public-facing URL for your online store, but we don’t recommend it. We urge you to use a custom domain to build credibility and trust, one that reflects your brand and is memorable.
However, if you chose to keep your myshopify sub-domain as your customer-facing URL, you can change your store name, but you won’t be allowed to change your myshopify sub-domain. Instead, you’ll need to create a new Shopify store.
If you use or plan to use a custom domain, you can change your Shopify store name for aesthetic reasons, but it won’t affect your custom domain or myshopify sub-domain.

Calculating Your Package's Cubic Tier
For Boxes and Rigid Packages:
- Measure the outer dimensions (length, width, height) in inches
- Round each measurement down to the nearest quarter inch
- Multiply length x width x height
- Divide the result by 1728 (cubic inches in a cubic foot)
- The result is your package's cubic feet measurement
Example: For a box measuring 12.3" x 9.5" x 3":
- Round down to 12.25" x 9.5" x 3"
- 12.25 x 9.5 x 3 = 349.125
- 349.125 / 1728 = 0.202 cubic feet
- This package falls into the 0.3 cubic feet pricing tier
Note: Maximum size for any single dimension is 18 inches
For Envelopes and Soft Packs:
- Measure the length and width of the empty envelope
- Round down to the nearest quarter inch
- Add the length and width together
- Use the total to determine the pricing tier:
- Tier 0.1: Up to 21"
- Tier 0.2: 21.01" to 27"
- Tier 0.3: 27.01" to 31"
- Tier 0.4: 31.01" to 34"
- Tier 0.5: 34.01" to 36"
