• You need to be the store owner to begin the transfer.
• If you transfer your domain to a platform that doesn't use HTTPS, then for the next 90 days, an error message is displayed in the browser when anyone attempts to visit your domain. Learn more aboutShopify's HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) policyand resolving security errors.
• For your domain to be eligible for transfer, you need to wait 60 days after performing the following tasks:
  • purchasing the domain
  • transferring the domain to Shopify
  • changing your contact information

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS)

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a web security mechanism that ensures that browsers only connect to your online store over a secure HTTPS connection. Using a secure connection prevents certain kinds of network attacks and helps to ensure the safety of your data and your customers' data. HSTS is always active on your domain for as long as your domain is connected to your Shopify store.

If you remove a domain or leave Shopify entirely, then Shopify's HSTS policy remains in effect on your domain for an additional 90 days. If you transfer your domain to another platform that uses HTTPS, then you won't need to perform any additional procedures.

If you transfer your domain to a platform that doesn't use HTTPS, then for the next 90 days, an error message is displayed in the browser when anyone attempts to visit your domain. The error message might state that the site is not trusted or that the certificate is not valid. In that case, you can do one of the following:

• Wait until the 90 day period is over.
• Transfer your domain to a platform that provides a new TLS certificate.
• Purchase a TLS certificate from a certificate authority.
