Store Name
To set or change the name for your store:

- In the Store name field enter the name that you chose for your store;
- Click Save.
Store Web Address (URL)
Store's web address (URL) is a link of the site page where your Online Store store is located. For example, you have a website at https://www.mywebsite.com and added your Online Store to the https://www.mywebsite.com/store site page — the address of this site page is your store location address.
To add or update the store location address in your store settings:
- Go to Settings → General and click Store Profile tab.
- Click Specify Address button.
- Click Edit in the Store location (URL) section.
- Select what applies to you:
- Enter the web address of the site page where you’ve added your Online Store.
- Click Save.
Company Name, Email, and Address
You can also specify the name, email and physical address (including phone number) of your company in the corresponding Company name and email and Company address fields of the Store Profile page in your Editor admin. This data is usually displayed in your invoices and in email notifications. Your phone number and email, entered in these fields, also appear on the Thank you for your Order page (in the special “Questions on your order?” block) that customers see after placing an order in your shop.
Note: In case you don't have a registered business yet, enter your store name as the company name. And if you don't have a business address, just enter the address from which you will ship orders.
Note: The address in the Company address section is automatically considered your shipping origin address to calculate the real-time shipping rates from carriers if you’ve set them up in your store. If you are going to ship from another place, you can specify the shipping origin address. This way you will have more accurate live shipping quotes from the carriers at checkout.
Social media accounts
You can add links to your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Pinterest accounts to the bottom of your store’s email notifications. Providing these links will help keep your customers informed about your news and promotions.
Adding links is simple – you can enter the address of your social media account on the Store Profile page in your store admin and just click Save.
If your time and other resources are limited, it's better to have one regularly updated account than several half-abandoned pages on different social media. Considering the product range of your store is important to make the right choice: some products can be marketed more efficiently on Instagram, some on Facebook, etc.
Closing Your Store for Maintenance
In case you don't want to display your storefront – for example, your website is at a pre-launch stage or is currently under construction – you can always temporarily close your storefront for visitors on the Store Profile.
