Your store link will become a subdomain of Sellfy (March-May 2021)

What changes are being made

Your Sellfy store link, the URL to your store, will look different after this update.

You'll notice that rather than the store link coming after sellfy.com, it will now be placed before sellfy.store. This change means that your store link is now a subdomain and it is considered a separate and unique domain.

Here is an example of the change:

A subdomain is a part of a domain that acts as an extension of a domain, but it is considered a completely unique web address. 

Subdomains are often used to organize website content, within the same domain. For example, store.domain.com and domain.com are considered different addresses, but can both be used by the owners of domain.com. In this case, your subdomain of Sellfy will be unique to your store, so that you can make it your own!

What will happen to my store links?

If your store has a custom domain, you won't notice any changes.

If your store uses the Sellfy store link, then you'll notice the name update. But, we'll take care of the link changes. That means that all of your old store links will be automatically redirected to your new store name. There won't be any interruption for your customers!

Product link changes

Your product links will be adjusted, just as the store link will be changed. They will keep the same product slug or URL ending, but the domain will be updated.

All product links will be automatically redirected. You won't need to make any changes!

Will this affect my custom domain?

This update will not affect anyone that is using a custom domain on their Sellfy store. Your custom domain will remain on your Sellfy store. You won't notice any changes.

But, you will get all the benefits of the update, like being able to edit the code on your store!
