I did a mistake. I will explain my problem using an example domain name(for privacy)

I wanted to build a site on "canadiancandle.com" but I purchased canadiancandles.com by mistake ( "S" at the end )
Now i am already done with theme, plugins and some content. Homepage is ready. Domain is less than 3 days old. What should i do. Is it easy to change domain names for new sites? Can i cancel the domain name i purchased canadiancandles.com , If yes should i?
I dont wanna purchase both because i am uncertain about the outcome of that website.
Is Canadiancandles.com also good for SEO ?
Which you recommend Domain with "S'' at the end or without "S''

Facts: Let's say keyword "Canadian Candles" and "Canadian Candle" have the same no. of searches.
I have not submitted site for indexation yet
I purchased domain from alibaba cloud
I am posting affiliate link of candles on my website
Thanks a lot for helping

There's no real difference between the two domains in terms of SEO. Except if both domains exist and are indexed and their websites have the same reputation/strength.

So in your case, there's no difference. But between the two domains, you should choose the one that makes more sense for your business.
Example: Do you sell one kind of canadian slipper or many kinds?

I hope that helps! :)

If it is an ecommerce site I think I like the plural version better tbh.

Honestly though the domain itself is not going to do much for SEO these days anyways.

What is the purpose of this post ?
Creating backlink or getting traffic ?

the 3 days old domain you bought is 924 days old and is actually listed for sale. the one without s is even older.
5,397 days old. Why providing false statements? 2021-01-08_15-30-40.png

He said the domains he mentioned are meant as an example.
