Can you delete your Shopify subscription without deleting the store?

Because Shopify’s services are only available to store owners with a subscription, you cannot operate a store after you cancel your subscription. When you cancel your subscription, your store will be paused, and you will no longer have access to the features and services offered by the plan you were subscribed to. However, your store’s data and settings will be retained, and you can reactivate your store by resubscribing to a plan at any time.

Is there a cancellation fee for Shopify?

Shopify doesn’t charge a cancellation fee for ending your subscription. When you cancel your subscription, you will only be charged for the current billing period.

Can you cancel your Shopify subscription at any time?

Yes, you can cancel your Shopify subscription at any time. Shopify operates on a month-to-month basis, which means there are no long-term contracts or commitments. If you decide to cancel your subscription, you can do that through your store’s admin dashboard following the steps mentioned above.
