Uninstall Section Store: what stays behind

What stops, what stays in your theme and what we keep when you uninstall the app, and how to remove sections first.

Updated November 4, 2026

Uninstalling cancels Plus and turns off your cart drawer and bundles. Conversion Blocks stop showing. Sections you bought stay in your theme and keep working. You don't need to cancel Plus first.

Uninstall the app

  1. In Shopify admin, open Settings → Apps.
  2. Find Section Store and open its menu.
  3. Click Uninstall and confirm.

What stops

  • Plus. A trial ends at once. A paid plan is cancelled.
  • Cart Drawer and bundles. We set every cart to off and every bundle to draft. Your theme's own cart comes back.
  • Conversion Blocks. Shopify stops showing them.
  • Curated sections from Plus. They show blank.
  • AI assistants. Every connection is disconnected.

What stays in your theme

  • Sections you bought. They're yours and they keep working.
  • Section files from Plus. They stay in the theme but show nothing.
  • AI pages. The templates stay. Their Plus sections and blocks stop showing. A theme with an AI home page usually keeps your old home page as a template called ai-original.
  • A small theme file, section-store-express-checkout, if you used express checkout buttons. It shows nothing and does no harm.

What stays in Shopify

Images we saved to Shopify Files and products you imported stay in your store.

What we keep

Your bundles and carts stay saved with us in case you come back. A/B test data is deleted after you uninstall, when Shopify asks us to erase your store's data.

Restore your home page first

Is an AI home page live? Restore your old one before you uninstall. On AI Pages, click Restore original home page. You can't do it after.

Remove your sections first

Do this before you uninstall. You can't do it after.

  1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Help & Resources.
  2. Under FAQ, open How do I uninstall all sections?
  3. Click uninstall all sections and then Confirm.

This removes them from your live store at once, and it can't be undone. It often takes a few minutes.
