What if Shopify says my store name is taken?

Hi Ladies,

Are you trying to create your Shopify account and it says "Store name is taken" when you type in your name?

That is just the store name, the internal name that will be on Shopify!!!

The actual name (domain) is yours!

Sometimes people create stores before buying domains and that's why that happens!

For example, say I bought bubble.com and on Shopify it says:

- "Bubble is currently taken"

I could do Bubble Store just to bypass that and still create the account. ❤️

So again, just add something with your name. When you add your domain that is what customers will see, only you and Shopify see the "store name"

Did this answer your question?
