Deactivating your Shopify account

If we were to deactivate our Shopify account for some time due to any reason, can we reactivate it again with all our data in place - images, text, design etc? Will reactivating our website be possible within 2 years?

Hello @Prixti !

If you’re planning to deactivate, you need to keep in mind that there is a point at which all of the data will be purged, as per our Privacy Policy:

Shopify keeps store data for the lifetime of the store. Personal data (such as an individual’s name or address) and the store’s data are purged 2 years after it becomes frozen or closed.

I would recommend you backup all of your data before deactivating, just to be safe.

Here, I have a guide on Backups and Duplication.

Is there a reason you would be considering to step away for such a long time and then come back? I would be happy to see how else I can help you out with this.
