.shop domains
A .shop domain for your online store
What .shop is for
The idea behind .shop
.shop is a generic extension launched in 2016 for commerce. The name says it all: there is a shop behind the address. Online stores, businesses selling on social media and brands that want a separate address just for sales choose it.
Online stores
Clothes, cosmetics, electronics or handmade goods, at an address that says you sell.
Social media sellers
If you sell on Instagram or Facebook today, a .shop domain gives your catalog an address that is yours alone.
Your brand store
Keep your main site on .com and open your store on the same name with .shop.
Addresses that could be yours
- https://handmadesoap.shop
- https://bluesocks.shop
- https://retrovinyl.shop
- https://petsnacks.shop

.shop domains: frequently asked questions
Both launched in 2016 and both are about selling. .shop is shorter and reads as buying, .store as a place. Pick the one where your name is free and sounds better said out loud.
