Planning to Hit Pause On Shopify? Here's What You Should Know
Reasons Behind the Unsubscribe Button
Is Shopify proving to be less "Shop-i-Fab" and more "Shop-i-Drab" for you? Don't fret. You're allowed to be choosy about your e-commerce platform—it's a big world out there replete with options.
Maybe the monthly fees are taking huge bites out of your profits, or perhaps you've simply found another platform that gives your business a better ignition spark. Whatever the reason, it's okay to wave goodbye to Shopify—if done wisely.
The Break-Up Process: How to Cancel Your Shopify Subscription
Here's the thing: there's a method to cutting ties with Shopify, and it doesn't involve ghosting.
Select "Settings", "Billing", and then scroll down to "Cancel Subscription." You'll be asked to give your reason for leaving—however, owning up to it isn't a requisite. Shopify simply uses the feedback to help future users (wouldn't it be great if all break-ups were this mature?).
The Aftermath: What to Expect After Cancelling Your Subscription
Shopify tends to leave a door ajar in case you plan for a grand return. If you choose to reactivate the account, everything you had will be right there, waiting — products, designs, data, the works! The only thing that won't wait is your custom domain, so just remember to switch up those DNS settings!
But... Have You Truly Explored Other Options?
Before you sever ties completely, let's get real for a hot minute - have you truly explored the alternatives to Shopify? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? Do they offer a bang for the buck spent in fees?
