You want to switch a Webflow site from an ecommerce template to a standard site without ecommerce features.

1. Assess Your Design

  • Examine your current design to determine which ecommerce elements you need to remove or replace.
  • Identify the pages and features specifically tied to ecommerce, like product pages, shopping cart, and checkout.

2. Remove Ecommerce Pages and Components

  • Delete unnecessary pages like Products, Categories, Checkout, and any Product Template pages.
  • Remove ecommerce-specific components such as shopping cart icons, product lists, and any ecommerce widgets from your site.

3. Update CMS Collections

  • Review your CMS Collections to see if any are linked to ecommerce features.
  • Delete or repurpose ecommerce CMS Collections such as Products and Categories.

4. Check Site Plan and Settings

  • Verify your Webflow plan type: Ensure you're not paying for ecommerce functionality you no longer need.
  • Adjust Site Settings: Go to your Site Settings and confirm that no ecommerce settings remain active.

5. Test Your Site

  • Preview and test your site extensively to ensure all ecommerce features are removed, and functionality works without them.

  

6. Publish Your Changes

  • Once all ecommerce elements are removed, publish your site to see the changes live.

Summary

To revert from an ecommerce template to a standard site, remove ecommerce-specific pages, components, and collections, double-check your Webflow plan, and test your site to confirm the changes.
