How do I delete or remove the store from my website?

[Note: The title of this post has been edited by a moderator.]

I am adding ecommerce to my previously existing website.  I accidentally hit publish on the site WAY before the store was ready.  So now I have a shopping cart in my menu bar with no products or storefront and I can't find how to delete or unpublish just the store until it's ready.  Help!!!

To remove the store from a site built using the classic Weebly drag and drop editor, do the following:

  1. On your account dashboard, go to Settings > Checkout, and disconnect from any payment providers.
  2. While on that page, click on the Advanced settings button and toggle your Checkout mode option to Buy now.
  3. Open your site in the website editor, then remove any Products or Categories elements from pages of your site. You can also delete any pages that are store pages.

For the Square Online editor, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings > Checkout on your dashboard, then toggle off the Accept online orders option. If you don't see that toggle, then disconnect from any payment providers you've connected to.
  2. While on that page, click on the Advanced settings button and toggle your Checkout mode option to Buy now.
  3. Open your site in the website editor, remove any featured categories or featured items sections from the pages of your site.
  4. Click on the pages dropdown on the top left, then click on the Edit link for your navigation menu at the bottom. Remove any navigation items that are linked to store pages.

One final step for any site built with either editor: go to Items > Item Library on your dashboard, then use the checkboxes and Bulk edit button to mark all items as unavailable. Note that you can use buttons on the bottom left to display more items per page so it goes faster for you.

After following all those steps, republish your site and you're all set!

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to unpublish my store.  I was able to do it earlier in order to change my featured items and I need to be able to do it again as I have to suspend orders for one day.  When I go to edit website, it brings me to an unfinished weebly website, not by completed and published online store.  I'm not sure what happened.  As I said, I was able to do it earlier today.

Is there ANYone who can help me with this?

Hi @RoseLBF It sounds like you are logged into the wrong account. Can you please confirm the url of the site you are trying to access?
