How To Setup Your Store Address
Shopify has made setting up your store simple. The store address you create is the address that will be shown on Shopify.
Once your store has been set up and completed, there isn’t much work left to do.
Your online store automatically uses the settings for checkout and order fulfillment that you have selected, and all of your products will automatically appear on your online store.
After setup, you will be given your individual 'myshopify' domain website address. Your store address will be based on the store name you signed up with.
The domain will look something like your-store-name.myshopify.com.
How To Select The Correct Address
As your store address uses the name you signed up with, you should ensure that you sign up with your business name and make sure to include the correct business email address so that everything syncs without error.
This will help keep everything streamlined and ensure that you sell your products with a professional brand behind them.
Another address that you have to ensure is correct is the shipping address; this needs to be recognized for your shipping label. Once the address has been submitted, it will be checked against the database of the shipping carrier.
When the addresses are recognized, the carrier will accept the label, there will be no errors in reading the label, and therefore no delays in processing and shipping.
