Shopify is an eCommerce platform designed for business owners to start, manage, and grow their businesses. Shopify allows business owners to own an online store.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

With Shopify, you can sell in multiple places, including the web, mobile, social media, online marketplaces, brick-and-mortar locations, and pop-up shops. Manage products, inventory, payments, and shipping.<\/p>\n

If you own a Shopify store and no longer wish to continue with it, then you can pause your store temporarily or close your store completely from\u00a0your Shopify admin.<\/p>\n

If you are on a free trial and have not selected any pricing plan, then you don’t need to do anything to cancel your account.<\/p>\n

Your free trial does not extend even when you pause your store during your free trial. If you unpause your account after your free trial expires, then you need to select a paid plan to continue working on your store.<\/p>\n

How to Pause Your Shopify Store<\/h2>\n
