What Happens to My Domain if I Close My Shopify Store?

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

When you close your Shopify store, your domain will remain active and you will still be able to access it. However, all of your store’s data will be deleted, including your products, orders, customers, and themes.

Your domain will also be unlinked from your Shopify account, so you will no longer be able to manage it through Shopify. If you have a custom domain, you will need to update your DNS settings to point to a new server.

It’s important to note that once you close your Shopify store, you cannot reopen it. If you want to start selling again, you will need to create a new Shopify store. For this reason, it’s generally recommended that you only close your store if you’re sure you’re done selling.

PRO TIP: If you close your Shopify store, your domain will remain active but will no longer be associated with your Shopify account. This means that you will no longer be able to access your domain or make any changes to it through your Shopify account. You will need to contact your domain provider directly to make any changes to your domain.

If you’re not sure whether you want to permanently close your store or just take a break from selling, then you can put your store on vacation mode. This will disable your store without deleting any of your data. You can learn more about vacation mode here.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, if you close your Shopify store, your domain will remain active but all of your store’s data will be deleted. If you have a custom domain, you’ll need to update your DNS settings to point to a new server. Once you close your store, you cannot reopen it – if you want to start selling again, you’ll need to create a new Shopify store.
