Hi! I was previously on the pause and build plan, and realized I want to fully pause my store and focus on other priorities. I remember there being a pause plan that doesn’t charge anything, but now I’m only seeing a $9 pause and build plan or the option to close my store entirely. Neither of these is what I require. What happened to the pause plan?
As of December 15, 2021, the Pause plan will no longer be available. If you selected the Pause plan before December 15, then you can remain on the Pause plan for 90 days from the date that you activated the Pause plan. After 90 days, you are upgraded to the Pause and Build plan, which is $9 USD per month.
