Site subscriptions are purchased individually for each published site after you surpass the number of sites included in your account plan. These can be purchased on monthly or annual basis and can include a Store Add-on. After purchasing, you can downgrade, cancel, or change the billing cycle (switching between monthly and annual plans) for site subscriptions. You can also disable auto renewal billing and if desired, delete a site.
Site subscriptions cannot be transferred between sites.

When you publish a site, by default the auto-renew for the subscription will be on. When the auto-renew is turned off, the site will automatically unpublish at the end of the site cycle. If a published site’s auto-renew is turned off, the account owner will receive an email 7 days prior to the site cycle ending informing them it will be unpublished.
Note
The account owner will not receive advanced notice for:
-
Unpublished sites with auto-renew off.
-
Sites with auto-renew turned off less than 7 days prior to the site cycle ending.
-
Add-on subscriptions (for example apps).
Why would auto renew be off for a site:
-
It was turned off Manually. This would either have been done during the unpublishing process or on the site’s payment screen.
-
It was turned off Automatically. If your account experiences billing complications, it may cause the auto-renew on your sites to turn off.
You can cancel site subscriptions by disabling auto renewal. Your site will remain live until the end of the billing period. To take your site offline immediately, unpublish your site. To learn how to unpublish your site, see Unpublish a Site.
Note
These instructions are only relevant for users on Basic/Team/Agency/White Label plan. If you have a Site for Life subscription, contact support.
If you no longer plan to use the site and want to end auto renewal billing, disable the site auto renewal.
To disable auto renewal:

Your site remains published until the end of the site cycle, at which time it will be unpublished (see the site payment information page for the renewal date). The site subscription is active until the renewal date, even if the site is unpublished.
Note
If a published site’s auto-renew is turned off, the account owner will receive an email 7 days prior to the site cycle ending informing them it will be unpublished.

When you downgrade from a paid eCommerce plan, your store is turned into a demo store. It is important to note that demo stores do not accept online payments, support a limited number of products, and offer limited product options and filtering capabilities.
