Can I delete my Chariow store?

This article explains the options available if you want to stop operating a store or close your access to the Chariow platform.

Odile ASSOGBA·September 28, 2026

It’s important to note that Chariow does not allow you to individually and permanently delete a store on its own. A store you create stays technically linked to your profile.

However, you have two options depending on what you need: if you just want to make a store inactive, you can use archiving. If you want to erase all of your data from the platform, then you need to delete your account Chariow.

1. Archiving the store

If you no longer use a specific store but still want to keep your user account, archiving is the only option. It’s a flexible solution that lets you put your activity on hold while protecting your work.

What you need to know about archiving:

  • Public inaccessibility: Your store instantly becomes inactive. Your products are no longer visible or purchasable by visitors.

  • Data retention: All your information (products, order history, customer database) is safely stored on our servers for possible future consultation.

  • Future reactivation: You keep the option to reactivate your store at any time if you change your mind.

  • Freeing up space: On Chariow, you can have up to 5 active stores. An archived store is no longer counted in this limit, which frees up a slot for a new project.

2. Deleting the account

If your intention is to leave the platform for good, you can now delete your Chariow account entirely.

What deleting the account involves:

  • Permanent deletion: Deletion leads to the total and irreversible erasure of your account and of all the shops linked to it.

  • Loss of data: You’ll permanently lose access to your files, your revenue reports, and your customer lists.

  • Irreversible action: Once the account is deleted, recovery is not possible. This is a radical process meant for those who no longer want to use Chariow’s services.

In short: which option should you choose?

  • Choose archiving if you just want to stop selling on a specific shop or free up a “slot” to create a new shop without losing your past data.

  • Choose account deletion only if you want to permanently close your seller access and delete all your personal and business information from our servers.
