How to unadd yourself from Shopify

This is a step-by-step guide on how to cancel your Shopify subscription. 

Canceling your Shopify subscription is a simple process if you know the right steps. This article will guide you through the actions required to suspend or close your store on the platform, and will also provide you with key information to ensure the process is effective.

Step 1: Back up your store

Before you cancel your subscription, it's critical that you back up all of your store's important information, such as:

• Customer data
• Order history
• Product information

Shopify doesn't offer a native feature to export all of your store's data in one go, but you can export specific information from the "Orders" or "Products" section in CSV format. This ensures that you can migrate or reuse the data on another platform if you need to.

Step 2: Cancel additional apps and services

If you've integrated third-party apps or additional services into your store, you must manually cancel them from the "Apps" section in the admin panel. This is important because some apps have separate subscriptions that will continue to charge you even after you close your store.

Step 3: Close your store from your admin

• To cancel your subscription, follow these steps:
• Sign in to your Shopify admin using your credentials.
• Go to Settings > Plan.
• Click “Cancel subscription” or “Pause and close store,” depending on your needs.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. This might include answering a short survey about why you're canceling.

Step 4: Verify the cancellation

After you complete the process, Shopify will disable your store on the date listed. Make sure you receive a confirmation email to verify that the closure was successful. Without this confirmation, you may face additional charges if the closure is not processed correctly.

Additional considerations

If you decide to reopen your store, Shopify keeps your data for up to 30 days after cancellation. However, it doesn't guarantee that all information will be available.

If you have a domain purchased through Shopify, make sure to transfer it or manage it independently before closing the store.
