How to Remove a Paid App from Shopify?

Shopify has an amazing App Store that allows you to integrate your website with the most popular apps. While some apps are free, others cost money to download and use. However, there may be times when you need to remove a paid app from Shopify so you can make changes to your store or try something new. This guide will walk you through how to remove a paid app from Shopify and start fresh if necessary.

Removing a Paid App on Shopify

The process is simple and straightforward:

1.  Navigate to your Online Store

This should be your store’s homepage. If you’re logged in, click on Your Online Store in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. If you aren’t logged in, enter your email address and password and then click on Log In. Once you do that, you should see your store name at the top of your screen. Click it once so that it turns blue, and then you’ll have access to your dashboard.

2.  Go to apps and click Delete

Once in Apps, you should see all of your apps. If you place your cursor on the app you want to delete, you’ll see a trash can icon on the right. Simply click on that, and you’re good to go!

In some countries, you may also see a ⁞ sign on the app. Click on that, and you will see a drop-down menu. In that menu, you will see a ‘Delete app’ option. Once you click on that, your app will effectively be uninstalled.

It is important to note that you will be charged one last time when you delete a paid app. However, if you are still in the trial period, then you will not be charged.
