Sometimes you may need to Shopify default domain to add a custom app or login to your Shopify account.
Here are three simple tips to find out what is your (or someone else's) default Shopify domain.

You can use this method only if you are the store owner or has required store access.

2. View the page source code
Go to any Shopify store, right-click on the page and select View Page Source in Google Chrome.
Or
Show Page Source in Safari. Once you will see the HTML code of the store, press CTRL + F in Windows or Command ⌘ + F in MacOS, and enter "myshopify.com" to search.
You should get multiple results, but typically all are the same and represents the Shopify default domain of the store.
Often, it is stored in the "Shopify.shop" variable located in the <head> section.
3. Use Koala Inspector
If you are not a fan of viewing page source codes, you can use some third-party browser extension like Koala Inspector.
Besides displaying the MyShopify domain, it also provides some additional information about the store like used theme, installed apps, and overview of the store products.
