Can I remove the ecommerce feature and change my Webflow site to a normal site if I started designing with an ecommerce template?
TL;DR
- Delete all product and category pages, remove Ecommerce collections, and unlink Ecommerce elements.
- Switch to a CMS or Basic Plan in Project Settings to move away from Ecommerce.
- Update navigation and design by removing shopping cart and checkout components.
- Remove all Ecommerce collection references to eliminate dependencies.
- You can't fully delete Ecommerce, but you can hide all related elements and use the site as a standard Webflow website.

1. Disable Ecommerce Pages & Components
- Delete all product and category pages from the Pages panel (if possible).

2. Switch to a Non-Ecommerce Plan
- Go to Project Settings > Hosting and check if you have an Ecommerce Plan.

3. Modify Navigation & Design
- Check all links and buttons to ensure they don’t direct to product pages.

4. Remove Any Ecommerce Collection References
- Webflow doesn’t allow full deletion of the Ecommerce feature once activated.
