How do I claim my store on Shopify?

Moving your finished store into your own Shopify account, and what to do if you don't have a Shopify account yet.

Written by Rochelle

storebuilder.ai builds your store on Shopify. To make it yours, you claim it: the store moves into your own Shopify account, and from then on you control it.

How to claim your store

  1. After you finalize your store (and pay for your theme, if you chose a paid one), click Claim my store.

  2. Shopify opens. If you're signed in to Shopify, the store goes to that account. If you're not, sign in or create a free Shopify account.

  3. Accept Shopify's terms. Shopify then brings you back to storebuilder.ai.

  4. Activate your Shopify plan. See How do I activate my Shopify plan?

Which email is used?

The store is transferred to the Shopify account you use when you claim it. If you have more than one Shopify account, check which one you're signed in to before you click Claim my store.

Claim links don't last forever. Claim your store as soon as you're happy with the preview so you don't lose it.

If something goes wrong

  • You closed the Shopify window by mistake — go back to app.storebuilder.ai in the same browser and click Claim my store again. Your store and any theme payment are saved.

  • You weren't sent back to storebuilder.ai — open app.storebuilder.ai in the same browser. It picks up where you left off.

  • The claim link has expired — email us with the email you used and we'll help.
