Managing an online store is easy with Hostinger’s Website Builder — and so is deleting or restoring one when needed. Whether you’re removing your store permanently or just taking it offline for updates, this guide walks you through the process step by step.
Deleting Your Online Store in Hostinger Website Builder
To begin, log into your Hostinger account and follow these steps:
- Go to “Websites” and click the “Edit Website” button next to the site you want to edit.
- Inside the editor, click “Manage Store.”
- Open the settings (three dots menu) and select “Remove Store.”
- Confirm your choice by clicking “Delete.” Note: All store-related pages, blocks, and elements will be removed permanently.
- After deletion, click the “Update Website” button to publish your changes.
Removing the Store Link from Your Navigation Menu
Even after deleting the store, the “Store” menu item may remain. To remove it:
- Go to “Pages and Navigation” inside the website builder.
- Click the three dots next to the “Store” menu item and select “Delete.”
- Confirm the deletion and hit “Update Website” again.
Your website will now be completely free of any online store traces — both in content and navigation.
How to Restore a Deleted Store in Hostinger
If you change your mind or deleted the store by mistake, Hostinger allows you to restore a previous backup that contains your online store. Here’s how:
- Go to “More Settings” > “Manage Backups.”
- Choose a backup version where the online store existed.
- Click “Restore Backup.”
- Wait for the site to restore, then hit “Update Website.”
After restoring, your products and store pages will return exactly as they were.
