In this regard, a domain refers to the web address or URL through which the customers will search your online store. Whenever opening your Shopify account, your online store comes with a default URL in myshopify.com.
Use a custom domain, like www.abcde.com, if you want to change the web address that customers see when they browse your online store.
Domains purchased from Shopify or any other third-party domain provider can be used. Using a domain that is consistent with your brand can help your online store gain customers’ trust.
To make the setup process easier, you can purchase a domain through Shopify if you want to purchase a new one.
