How to change your Shopify store name
If you own an online store on the Shopify platform, you may want to change the name of your store. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as repurposing your business, merging with another company, or simply because you found a catchier name.
In this article, we’ll walk you through how to change your Shopify store name in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Access your store settings
To get started, log in to your Shopify account and navigate to your dashboard. On the home page, you will see a navigation bar on the left side. Click “Settings” to open the drop-down menu, then select “General.”
Step 2: Change your store name
Once on the general settings page, scroll down until you find the “Store Name” section. You will see a text field where you can edit the current name of your store.
Enter the new name you want to give your store in this field. Make sure you choose a name that is relevant, catchy and easy for your customers to remember.
Step 3: Save Changes
Once you’ve entered your new store name, scroll down and click the “Save” button to save the changes.
Step 4: Verifying the new name
After saving the changes, you will be redirected to your store homepage. Verify that the new name is displayed correctly at the top of the page. Also be sure to check your other store pages to make sure the new name appears everywhere.

It’s important to note that changing your store name does not automatically change your Shopify store URL. The URL usually contains the initial name of your store.
