# Redirect behavior and the default store Source: https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/default-store · Last modified 21 August 2026 Set one store as the default when you run several stores on a shared domain. The default store is the one users land on at the root path, and it is the store StoreConnect falls back to when no other store applies. If you only run one store, you do not need to change this. Exactly one store should be the default. Selecting **Default** on a second store leaves the routing ambiguous. ## Set the default store 1. Open the **Store** record you want to make the default. 2. Select the **Default** checkbox. 3. Click **Save**. 4. Visit your domain at the root path and confirm you land on this store. ## How the default store behaves ### Geolocation redirects The geolocation service only redirects users to a more appropriate regional store if they're currently on the default store (or a store with no path). This prevents redirect loops when a user is already on a non-default store like `/eu` or `/us`. See [the geolocation feature](the-geolocation-feature). ### OAuth/SSO fallback When an OAuth callback occurs outside a store context, the system falls back to the default to set the current store. See [authentication providers](authentication-providers-overview). ### Multi-store domain setup In a typical multi-store setup on a shared domain, one store has the **Default** checkbox selected and no path, while others are not default and have path prefixes. The default store is typically the root store, the one users land on before being redirected to a regional store. --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://getstoreconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://getstoreconnect.com/partners) - [News](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://getstoreconnect.com/articles/events) - [Feature Comparison](https://getstoreconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://getstoreconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [AI agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/ai) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS --- StoreConnect Support — https://support.storeconnect.com/articles/default-store
