How to Unpublish Shopify Store?

Last updated on January 8, 2023 @ 5:12 am

It’s easy to unpublish your Shopify store. Simply follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin.

2. Click Online Store in the left-hand menu.

3. Click Preferences.

4. Scroll down to the Store visibility section.

You can choose one of the following options:

  • I want my store to be online and visible to my customers. This is the default setting. Your store is public and can be found by anyone who knows your store’s URL.
  • I want my store to be online but hidden from my customers. Your store is still accessible if someone has the direct URL, but it won’t appear in search results or in your Shopify admin.
  • I want to close my store completely. This will unpublish your store and remove it from search results and your Shopify admin. Customers won’t be able to access your store using the direct URL either.

If you’re sure that you want to unpublish your Shopify store, then follow these steps:

1. Log into your Shopify account

2. Click on Online Store in the left-hand menu

3. Click on Preferences

4. Scroll down to the Store visibility section

5. Choose I want to close my store completely

6. Click Save

PRO TIP: If you are considering unpublishing your Shopify store, please be aware that this action cannot be undone. Once your store is unpublished, it will no longer be visible to the public and you will not be able to accept any new orders. If you have any active orders, they will need to be fulfilled before you unpublish your store.
