When you\u2019ve purchased a domain through Shopify, you have the option to mark that domain as automatically renewed. This protects your ownership of the domain name and prevents it from being bought by another person. There are companies that troll for expired domains, buy them, and they charge an excessive price for the domain to the original owners.<\/p>\n
And you don\u2019t want to be changing domains if you don\u2019t have to. It can ruin your SEO.<\/p>\n

You will need to select the option that\u2019s located above the \u2018Preferences\u2019 option that reads \u2018Domains\u2019.<\/p>\n
In the domain page there will be a list of all the domains that you\u2019ve purchased with Shopify. For instance, if you have example.com, example.net, example.co.uk, example.fr, etc. they will all be here.<\/p>\n
