How Do I Temporarily Disable Shopify?

If you’re considering disabling your Shopify store, there are a few things you should know. First, it’s important to understand that when you disable your Shopify store, it isn’t deleted. All of your data and information will remain intact and can be easily reactivated at any time.

Second, there are two types of disablement: temporary and permanent. Permanent disablement is irreversible, so if you think you might want to reactivate your store at some point, temporary disablement is the way to go. Here’s how to temporarily disable your Shopify store:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel.

2. Click Settings in the left-hand sidebar.

3. Click General.

4. Scroll down to the Store status section and click Disable.

Alternatively, if you want to put your store in maintenance mode instead of disabling it completely, click Enable maintenance mode. This will allow you to make changes to your store without taking it offline completely.

And that’s it! Your Shopify store is now temporarily disabled.

PRO TIP: If you are considering disabling your Shopify account, it is important to note that this will permanently delete all data associated with your account. This includes products, customers, orders, and blog posts. Before taking this step, we recommend backing up all data to avoid losing important information.
