Hi. Lets say I created E-commerce website for my portfolio only, so obviously I dont want to extend the plan. When it expires I want it to still be visible for the viewers in a staging domain at least. So will it be visible there and no pages or addons will be removed for the viewing? Thanks
Correct, however specific parts of the ecom function itself like checkout wouldn’t work once you cancel the ecom plan, and any paid addons would stop working if you stop paying for them as well.
So it will unpublish my Ecommerce site not only from custom domain but from subdomain as well? Something has changed since the last time I asked you this?
It will unpublish it from staging, and you should just be able to republish it to staging. Nothing has changed.
ECom features can still be published to staging, they’re just non-functional. You can see this in Made in Webflow, and in the all of the ECom template previews.
You may need to empty out the Products or Collections tables if you have more items than the free plan allows, check Webflow’s pricing tables for details.
One more question - its says that only 2 pages are available for the free plan. Does it mean that only two upper Static pages will be preserved and other pages will be deleted even from staging domain (including Ecommerce pages?) I have 5 static pages, 2 ecommerce pages and 4 CMS pages and have some User pages. I need all of them to stay in my staging domain (except maybe User pages). Its a portfolio website so I dont wanna pay for that
Assuming you’re on a paid workspace plan, you should be OK, but check your plan level. Each gives different capabilities to your unhosted sites like portfolios.
If you’re on a free workspace plan, and killing your site plan as well, then yeah, you’ll be very limited in what a project can contain. Webflow doesn’t delete anything, but it will disable pages and features like excess CMS items.
In that free-workspace scenario you would not really be able to edit a no-siteplan project of > 2 pages. I don’t know how this would affect publishing- likely only the 2 pages Webflow identifies as active would be published. It picks them randomly, but I assume the homepage would always be one of them.
Just to add, you’re asking a TON of questions, which would be much easier to just discover on your own. There’s no harm in just canceling the plan before it renews, and then if your site is unworkable, you can always add the plan back on.
