In Shopify: creating the store and locating its domain

Requirements: none — Shopify’s Dev Dashboard is free, self-service sign-up.

  1. Go to Shopify’s Dev Dashboard (dev.shopify.com/dashboard) and log in.

  2. In the side menu, choose Stores.

  3. Click Create store.

  4. Choose the Dev type (“development store”) and give it a name that identifies it in your panel — never your real business name if it’s only for testing.

  5. Choose a plan (Basic/Grow/Advanced/Plus, it doesn’t matter for testing) and click Create store.

  6. Go into the newly created store and locate its full domain, with the mitienda.myshopify.com format (visible in the store admin panel’s own URL, or under Settings → Domains).

Warning — Verified against the official documentation — “Dev Dashboard” terminology

When reviewing Shopify’s official documentation for this manual (shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/development-stores, checked on September 5, 2026), development stores are created today from the Dev Dashboard (dev.shopify.com/dashboard). Older documentation may refer to the same mechanism as “Partners Dashboard” (partners.shopify.com) — if your account still shows it under that name, the step is the same.
