These steps will guide you through pausing your Shopify store.
Step 1: Log into your Shopify account as the account owner.
Step 2: On the left-hand panel, click on Settings on the bottom.
Step 3: Select the Account option located in the first row.
Step 4: Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the option Pause Your Store and click on that button.
Below the Pause icon, Shopify informs you that you can take a break from selling by paying a reduced subscription price. On this subscription plan, all of your settings will be saved until you are ready to sell again.
