Hi Lillouis!

You can deactivate your store by first cancelling your subscription and then deactivating it.

For deactivating your account, you can check Shopify’s video tutorial: https://youtu.be/tRaS6gHOxIA

If your store is on Shopify Plus, you can contact Shopify’s customer support to deactivate it.
