Remove Free Demo Store

When republishing a website with a free demo store, you have the option of upgrading or removing it.

To remove the demo store:

1. Click Republish in the top navigation bar of the editor.
2. Click the Yes, remove store button.

4. On your website, delete the store page.
5. Always remove all of the store widgets (search, cart).
6. To view the changes made, republish the site.
7. You can also choose from the following options after you click Republish:
8. Publish with a free store. Publish the site, including the demo store. This does not include a cart, therefore visitors are unable to make purchases from the store.
