Editing your contact information for your Shopify-managed domain
If you have a Shopify-managed domain, then you can access and edit your contact information from the Domains section in your Shopify admin. You might need to edit your contact information for the following reasons:
- to change the email address where you receive notifications about your domain subscription
- to update the phone number, mailing address, or store name that's associated with your domain
- to change your WHOIS privacy settings for your domain
By default, the Shopify store owner's email address and information are used for the purchase and renewal of domains. Make sure that your email address is up to date so that you receive notifications about your domain subscription.
Considerations before you edit your contact information
Before you edit the contact information for your Shopify-managed domain, review the following considerations:
- If you want to transfer a Shopify-managed domain to another domain provider, then you need to wait 60 days after making changes to your contact information before you can transfer your domain. For more information, refer to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
- Some top-level domains, such as
.at
or.fr
, might require you to submit a form to confirm any changes to your owner information. If you need to submit a form after you edit your contact information, then contact Shopify Support.
