What Does It Mean to Pause Your Shopify Store?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:51 pm

When you pause your Shopify store, it means that your store will no longer be visible to the public. Your products will still be available for sale, but customers will not be able to access your store.

This is useful if you need to take a break from selling, or if you need to make some changes to your store without affecting live sales. To pause your Shopify store:

1. Go to the ‘Settings’ section of your Shopify admin. 2.

In the ‘General’ settings, there is an option to ‘Pause Store.’ 3. Click the ‘Pause Store’ button and confirm that you want to pause your store.

PRO TIP: If you are considering pausing your Shopify store, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, pausing your store will temporarily remove it from the internet; customers will not be able to access it and any orders that are placed will not be processed. Additionally, your Shopify account will remain active and you will still be responsible for any monthly fees. Finally, if you have any outstanding payments owed to Shopify, these must be paid before you can pause your store.

Your Shopify store will now be paused and any customers who try to access your store will see a message saying that it is unavailable. You can unpause your store at any time by following the same process and clicking the ‘Unpause Store’ button.

Pausing your Shopify store can be a useful way to take a break from selling, or to make changes to your store without affecting live sales.
