Creating stores

Plan requirement

If your store or organization is on the Shopify Plus plan, then you can't transfer, create, or remove stores in your organization. You need contact Plus Support to make adjustments to the stores in your organization.

If your store or organization is on a pricing plan other than Shopify Plus, then can create a new store in your organization from the Organization page of your Shopify admin settings.

If your organization is on the Shopify Plus plan, then refer to Overview of expansion stores on Shopify Plus plan organizations for steps on adding an expansion store to your organization.

User permission requirements

The following users can create stores in an organization:

• The organization owner.
• Users with the Organization administrator organization role.
• Users with the Stores organization permission.

Create a new store

Note

You can change the myshopify.com URL that you select for your new store after it's created, but you can only change it one time. Learn more about choosing a new myshopify.com domain.

To create a new store in an organization, you need to have the required user permissions. When you create a store in an organization, you become the new store's owner. You can change the store owner after you create the new store.

Steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Organization.

2. Click Create store.

3. Fill out the set up form questions. You can also click I don't want help setting up to skip this step.

4. Select a plan, or click Skip, I'll decide later.

You can now log in to the store and start adding details.

Configuring store-specific settings and information

To configure settings for a specific store, such as its payment providers or shipping settings, use that store's Shopify admin.

If your organization is on the Shopify Plus plan, then contact Shopify Plus Support to make any of the following changes:

• Change a store from development to production.
• Deactivate or close a store.
• Downgrade your store's Shopify subscription plan.

Accessing a store

If you're the organization owner or a user with the Organization administrator role, and someone other than you creates a store in that organization, then you won't be able to access that store directly after it's created. In order to gain access to a specific store, you'll need to first go to the Organization page of a store in the organization that you do have access to, and then select the new store.

After you have accessed the new store from your the Organization page of your Shopify admin settings, you can access the store as usual.

Steps:

1. Log in to the Shopify admin of one of the stores in the organization that you already have access to.
2. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Organization.
3. In the Stores section, click the name of the store that you want to access.
