Shopify Store Name Checker

Your Shopify store name lives in four places: the myshopify.com subdomain, your custom domain, your social handles, and (ideally) a trademark. Most people check one of the four and regret the other three later. Run all four before you commit.

The 4 checks

Shopify subdomain availability: Shopify assigns you a permanent .myshopify.com address when you sign up — it can never be changed later, even if you connect a custom domain. Pick it deliberately, because your staff logins and some integrations reference it forever.
Your .com domain: check whether the matching domain is available to buy. The subdomain is for Shopify; the .com is what customers type and remember. If the .com is taken by another store, expect confused visitors and lost traffic.
Social handle format: check that the handle format works on the platforms where you will promote the store. Consistent naming across store, domain, and socials is what makes a brand look real instead of rented.
Trademark pre-screen: a store name that conflicts with an existing trademark can get your listings reported and your payment processing questioned. A pre-screen before you build inventory is far cheaper than a rebrand after.

Mistakes that cost Shopify sellers the most

Choosing the subdomain in a hurry: it is permanent. A joke name or typo in the myshopify.com address follows the store forever.
Launching on a subdomain alone: a myshopify.com-only address looks temporary to customers. Connect a real domain before you spend a dollar on ads.
Ignoring the trademark layer: a cease-and-desist lands after you have packaging, reviews, and ad history invested in the name. Check early, when changing costs nothing.

FAQ

Can I change my Shopify store name later?

You can change the display name and the custom domain, but the original .myshopify.com subdomain stays the same. That is why the subdomain choice deserves the most care.

Does a free check cover everything?

NameCheck's free check covers domain availability, social handle format, and a trademark pre-screen for any name you type — including store names. The $9 Clearance Report adds trademark risk detail, 3 alternative names, and a PDF clearance report you can keep on file.

Should the store name match the .com exactly?

Exactly matching is the cleanest setup for customers. If the exact .com is gone, a close variant (add "shop" or "store", or use a different TLD) works — but keep it short enough to say out loud. This is general information, not legal advice.
