How to Deactivate Your Shopify Store : Step-by-Step Guide
Begin by opening your favorite web browser and navigating to shopify.com. Once there, sign in to your Shopify admin dashboard. This is where you manage all the settings and details of your online store.
After logging in, take a look at the left-hand navigation menu. Scroll down to find and select ‘Settings’ at the bottom. This section holds all the important configurations for your store.
Within the Settings area, look for the option labeled “Plan.” This gives you access to your current subscription details and options for managing your store’s plan.
