how to disable checkout with third party theme

I've purchased a third party theme and want to disable the checkout page as my shop is not selling online at the moment but still wants to display all the products. Wondering how I can achieve that?

Potentially you could enable Pause & Build plan. When you use the Pause and Build plan, your store continues to run at a reduced cost of $9 USD per month. You can access your Shopify admin and edit your products when you need to, but your checkout is disabled. This means that customers can review your products, but they can't purchase them.

Steps:

1. Log in to your store as the store owner.

2. From your Shopify admin, click Settings > Plan.

3. Click Pause or deactivate store > Pause and build plan.

4. Carefully review the plan details, and then click Switch to Pause and build.

May I ask why you are wanting to deactivate your checkout? This will stop all customers from being able to purchase products from your store.

You do have the option to hide your Add to cart buttons on your storefront and reveal them again in the future. You will need to edit your theme HTML in order to make this change. You can follow the tutorial below for step by step instructions:

• Disable your Cart · Shopify Help Center

Important Coding Reminders:

• We always suggest you first duplicate the theme and work in the duplicate. That way you can always go back to your previous version.

• If you've changed theme files and need to revert them, you can roll back .liquid files individually to a time and date before you made the changes.

Support for your Shopify Theme:

All paid Shopify stores, using a Shopify-developed theme receive 60 minutes of complimentary design support. We provide this free of charge for Shopify themes if the change falls in line with our Design Policy. Our team tracks the time that they spend on each theme modification request that you make. If you're using a paid theme, then your theme was made by a third-party developer and Shopify's Support team can't help you with it. If you need help customizing a paid theme, then consider hiring a Shopify Expert. You can learn more about customizations that Shopify supports below:

Yes it is possible to disable check out in the third party theme by using the Cart Lock https://apps.shopify.com/cart-lock app easily. Here is how you can do it:

1. Open the app and click on the "Add a new rule" button.
2. Click "Add a new condition" and select the "Cart subtotal" then put 1 in the "Block if more than" field.
3. In the "Error message" field, add an appropriate message which will be displayed in the checkout page.
4. Save the rule.

Now your customers cannot complete the checkout anymore.
