Shopify username FAQ

Everything people ask before picking a Shopify handle.

Type the store name above and press Check. handle.tools checks whether yourname.myshopify.com already belongs to a store, open or closed, plus the matching .com and social handles.

Closed and paused Shopify stores keep their myshopify.com address, so the name stays taken even though nothing is for sale there.

Less than your domain, but it still appears in your admin, some emails and checkout links. A clean address that matches your brand looks more trustworthy.

Yes. Customers see your own domain, not the myshopify.com one, so the domain matters most. Every search here checks the .com and other extensions at the same time.

Try adding shop, store, co or your product type to the name. The brand name generator gives 20 ideas at once and checks the .com for each.

Shopify store name checker for new stores

Every Shopify store gets an address like yourname.myshopify.com. This Shopify store name checker shows whether that address is already in use, including by stores that have closed or paused, which keep their address even when nothing is for sale.

Store addresses use letters, numbers and hyphens. Customers usually see your own domain rather than the myshopify.com address, which is why every search here also checks the .com, .shop, .store and other extensions for the same name.

Most small shops find customers on Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest, so a store name that's free there too saves you from three different spellings of your brand. Check them all in one search before you order labels or packaging.

Tips for a Shopify store name

  • Check the .com first: it's what customers see.
  • Keep it short and easy to spell from hearing it.
  • Add shop, goods or co instead of numbers if taken.
  • Make sure Instagram and TikTok match.
  • Avoid trademarks you don't own.

myshopify.com address vs your own domain

Every Shopify store gets a free address like yourstore.myshopify.com, chosen when you create it. Customers mostly see your own domain instead, so the domain is the part to get right first. Still, a myshopify.com name that matches your brand looks better in emails, receipts and your admin, so check both before you launch.

Picking a store name that works everywhere

A good store name is short, easy to spell after hearing it once, and free as a .com and on Instagram and TikTok, where most small shops find customers. Check all three in one search, and if the obvious name is gone, add a word like shop, goods, studio or co rather than numbers.

Own the name everywhere, not just on Shopify

A handle only works inside one app. The domain is the part you keep — it carries your site, your email and your link in bio even if you move platforms. Names that are free on Shopify today are usually free as a .com too, and that stops being true fast.
