Creating stores in Organization Settings

To create a new store, you need to have theStores permission.

When you create a store, it's usually added right away. However, if the requested store exceeds your contract limits, then a trial store is created instead. A request is sent to Shopify Plus to add the additional store, and you'll be prompted to approve an extra fee. Within a few days, your request will be processed and your trial store is upgraded. You'll be sent an email confirming the change.

Considerations for creating a new store

When you create a store in an organization, you become the new store's owner. Tochange a store's ownerafter it's been created, you need to use that store's Shopify admin.

During the process of creating a store, you're asked toprovide a purposefor your new store. The purpose that you select might affect the billing or setup of your store, but won't restrict its features or capabilities. If you're not sure which option to choose, then contact Shopify Plus Support.

Importing data from an existing store

When you create a store, you can import the following data from a store that already exists in your organization:

• themes
• files

Considerations for importing themes into a new store

When you import a theme into a new store, any references to files that are hard-coded in that theme continue to point to the files in the original existing store. If a file in the original store is deleted, then the link to that file is broken in the theme in your new store. To prevent links from being broken, make sure that you import files when you import themes, and that you update any URLs in your theme so that they point to the files in your new store.
