The .shop field guide

What a .shop address can do at checkout

A direct ecommerce address for the moment a customer moves from discovering your product to buying it.

01Start here

Let the address carry the invitation to buy

A .shop name works at the point where somebody is deciding whether to browse, add to cart, or come back for a product they noticed earlier. Put it on a product label, a creator collaboration, a paid ad, or a post-purchase email when you want the destination to be unmistakably commercial without adding another word to the link.

02

Build the route from product to checkout

The useful version of a .shop site is not just a beautiful front page. Give each visit a practical next move: a collection to browse, stock information, delivery answers, a cart, or a way to ask a question before buying. A short address earns its place when it helps the customer find the same route quickly on a second visit.

03

Choose a name customers can pass along

Try the full name aloud as though a customer is recommending the product to a friend. If they can say it after seeing it once, it can travel well through social posts, QR codes, packaging, and word of mouth. The word before .shop should identify the thing you sell, while the ending makes the destination clear.

Built for

What you can build with .shop

Give the buying journey a short, repeatable address that customers can recognise wherever they encounter your products.

01

A product collection

Launch a seasonal range, signature product, or focused catalogue from an address that immediately signals a place to buy.

02

A campaign landing page

Use a memorable retail link in paid campaigns, QR codes, collaborations, and social posts, then lead directly to the products behind the message.

03

A customer return route

Make reordering, browsing, order support, and product discovery easy to find after the first purchase.
