Have the ability to remove/disable the ecommerce functionality on a project.
If you enable this to try it out, or download a template which has it enabled, there's currently no way to disable it. Especially frustrating if you have a client that is using the editor.
Has this been implemented yet? I have a partially created website and don't want to keep going if a workaround is going to be wonky
please make this happen!
Very annoying, bought a template which has e-commerce elements and now I am stuck with pages that I cannot put back to draft and which show up in my sitemap.xml. I do not want Google to index these!
Please add this... your workaround is terrible. At least let us remove the sitemap without forcing us to do a custom sitemap
How is this not enabled? Wtf
Hey, Webflow team, we beg you so much to allow users disabling Ecommerce Functionality.
Cos it's a bummer.
We, as many others in this thread, bought the template with ecommerce features enabled. And didn't see any warnings, and didn't realize ecomerce are hurting site performance, SEO ghost pages only after the launch and all work was done.
The cross-site copy-paste is not working well, LOTS of styles, instances, links and interactions are breaking!!!
This is a disaster!!! Literally weeks of works to rebuilt all properly from the new site....
Terrible feature!!!
It's nothing less than absurd that this isn't fixed efter so much attention in the forum for so long.
How could you build an optional feature into the product without the possibility of reverting said feature back to the original state?
It raises serious concers for me to develop on Webflow at all if this is the way the community response and feature implementation is handled. I can't see why this shouldn't be a top-priority fix.
What he says 👇
(Seriously Webflow, get this fixed. It's embarrassing...)
Same thing happened to us. We purchased a template that had e-commerce elements, but we only purchased the business hosting not the e-commerce hosting. It wasn't until we launched that we realized one cannot delete these collection pages.
Yeah there is a workaround, but not if you have active hosting. It took us a bit of massaging to get our client to approve a Webflow move from WordPress, now we go back to them and say, "There's a glitch"? Not going to look good for Webflow that we recommended this and now we have to deactivate a website and spend a week copying and pasting elements and interactions into a new project, especially when we didn't activate the e-commerce, a template (with no warning this can happen) did that.
I think people would be less annoyed about this if there was a big red warning on the template section not to buy an e-Commerce template if you do not intend to use e-commerce, because this is what will happen.
Given that Webflow is competing for WP customers to make the switch to no-code and use Webflow over WP, we have to sell this to clients who request WP sites.
We really liked developing on Webflow once we got used to it, however we just can't sell this to our client when something like this can happen. We cannot have any unnecessary downtime and our tech-team will not want to go through reconnecting the hosting etc. They will ask why we have to be down.
The "just copy paste" a new project is only feasible on a small site, not one with 60 pages and custom interactions and large CMS... weeks of work to do this and then have to also be down for a day to reconnect on another project?
It's only a user error when there are warnings about this being able to happen, which there are none in the template gallery, and we ordered 'Business' hosting not e-commerce, so not user error. Webflow glitch.
Please fix this so we can have full confidence in recommending Webflow fully to our customers.
The rest of the platform is awesome, and we're happy with the support!

At this time, it isn't possible to remove Ecommerce from your Webflow project.
But, if you aren't using Ecommerce, you can head on over to the hosting tab of your project and downgrade to CMS or Basic hosting if you like. A couple of things to keep in mind:
You won't be able to use white labeling with this project because of Ecommerce
You can only downgrade to Basic hosting if there are no CMS collections within the site
If you need to have a project without Ecommerce, you can use cross-site copy and paste as well as the export and import feature of Webflow CMS to migrate your work to a new project without Ecommerce enabled.
Ya'll need to chill out. Obviously making a complex system like webflow isn't as easy as turning an on/off button. Its obvious you don't know how code works. If you change one things it can dramatically break the rest of the system. It takes careful planning and time to figure out.
I want this functionality as much as the next person, but some of ya'll be nasty and passive aggressive af in the comments for no reason. Find another system that offers all the things webflow does. I bet you can't.
Much love to the webflow team. I know you can't always do everything at the time people ask for it. At the same time, it has been two years. An update on this would be nice. Much appreciated.
PLEASE allow us to remove. This is messing with our SEO that we have these orphan pages now.
This is ridicuouls - I'm now stuck with paying extra for something I don't need just because the template I was using had ecommerce elements...
I discovered this now when the website is ready to launch.
Speaking of a low blow... that was one
Please let us remove it.

Thanks Darren Harroff, that code seems to be working perfectly for me so far. Much appreciated X
Used a e-commerce template for a regular CMS site, found out just before going live you can't brand the editor. 'Branding the Editor is not supported for Ecommerce sites. '
Is it a joke? How it's not possible to remove that? Can't believe that
