Add a subdomain for your Shopify-managed domain

A subdomain is a subset of your root domain that you add as a prefix to your domain, such aswww. For example, in the URLhelp.shopify.com,shopify.comis the root domain andhelpis the subdomain. If you have a Shopify-managed domain, then you can add subdomains for free from your Shopify admin.

If you useinternational domains, then you can use subdomains to create a region-specific URL for every country or region where you have a target market. For example, if your store's primary domain isjohnsapparel.com, then you can create a subdomain for Canada with the URLca.johnsapparel.com和法国的子域名的URLfr.johnsapparel.com. International subdomains must usetwo letter country codes.

You can add up to 20 domains or subdomains to your Shopify store, in addition to your.myshopify.comdomain name. If your store is on the Shopify Plus plan, then you can add up to 1,000 domains or subdomains.
