What is Webflow Ecommerce and why would you want to disable it?
Webflow Ecommerce is Webflow's suite of ecommerce tools for creating and managing an online store. It includes features for adding products, managing orders, and processing payments. These are powerful tools but they come with overhead — additional pages, scripts, and indexing considerations. If you’ve decided you no longer need the ecommerce functionality on your Webflow site, here’s how to remove or disable it cleanly.
Removing Ecommerce from your Webflow site
There are a few different ways to remove or disable ecommerce features from your Webflow site, depending on what you want to achieve.
Remove all Ecommerce Pages from the Pages Panel
You can delete ecommerce pages (Product, Category, Cart, Checkout, Order Confirmation pages) from your Pages Panel. To do this, open the Pages Panel, click on each ecommerce page, and select Delete Page. Before deleting, make sure to add 301 redirects for any ecommerce URLs that may have existing traffic or backlinks, pointing them to relevant pages on your site.
Disable Checkout
If you want to keep the product catalog visible but disable the ability to purchase, you can disable checkout from your Ecommerce settings in the Webflow Designer. This removes the checkout functionality without deleting your product data.
Hide Ecommerce pages from search engines
If you want to keep the pages but don’t want them indexed by search engines, you can set them to noindex from each page’s Page Settings. You can also disable them from appearing in your sitemap. Both of these options are available from each respective page’s Page Settings:
- Webflow University | Collection Page Publish Settings
- Webflow University | How to disable indexing of site pages with the Sitemap indexing toggle
