Store set-up form errors

Every message on the Set up your store page — store ID, domain, www alias, admin password and store limits — and how to fix each.

Updated 1 min read Markdown

These messages appear on the Set up your store page, under the field they concern. Nothing is charged until the form is accepted.

"The store ID format is invalid."#

The store ID may contain only letters, numbers, dots, dashes and underscores — no spaces, no other symbols. asha-fashion works; asha fashion and asha&co do not.

"The store ID has already been taken."#

Another store uses that ID. Make it more specific — add your city or a word: asha-fashion-pune.

"The domain has already been taken."#

A store on the platform already uses that address.

  • If it is your store, don't set it up again — renew or upgrade it from your dashboard.
  • If it is a domain you just bought and you did not set up a store with it before, contact support.

"The www. alias for this domain is already taken."#

Every store gets a www. version of its domain. That version is used by another store. Contact support.

Typing the domain#

Type the bare domain: ashafashion.in — not https://ashafashion.in, not www.ashafashion.in, and no / at the end. The form does not correct this for you, and a store set up with the wrong form of its address will not open. If you made this mistake and already paid, contact support.

"The password must be at least 6 characters."#

The admin password needs at least 6 characters.

"The email must be a valid email address."#

Check the admin email for typos.

"You've reached your limit of … stores"#

Your account's store allowance is used up, and the plan buttons show Store limit reached. Contact support to raise it.
