What happens when Plus ends?
Feature by feature, what stops when Plus ends, what stays saved, and what comes back when you subscribe again.
When Plus ends, the bundle widget, cart drawer and Conversion Blocks stop showing. Checkout gives no bundle discount or cart reward. We delete nothing. Subscribing again brings back whatever is still switched on. A cart that's off stays off until you turn it on. A draft bundle stays a draft until you click Publish.
When it ends
- Trial cancelled: at once.
- Paid plan cancelled: on the Service available until date.
- App uninstalled: right away. See Uninstall Section Store: what stays behind.
- Store frozen: see My store is frozen or paused. What happens to Plus?
Feature by feature
| Feature | What shoppers see | What stays saved |
|---|---|---|
| Conversion Blocks | They vanish. Your theme's own buy button keeps working. | Blocks and their settings stay in your theme. |

| Curated sections from Plus | They show blank. | The sections stay in your theme. |
| AI Pages | The page stays, but its Plus sections and blocks stop showing. | Pages and your unused credits. |
| A/B tests | Shoppers see no bundle or drawer, so tests get no visitors. | Your tests. You need Plus to open them. |

| Sections you bought | Nothing changes. | They're yours. |
Things that catch merchants out
- Your Shopify discounts still say Active. Shopify keeps listing them as active, and they keep a slot in Shopify's limit of active automatic discounts. They give nothing at checkout until Plus is back.
- To free a slot: turn the cart off, or open a bundle, change something and click Save. Saving without Plus makes the bundle a draft and deletes its Shopify discount. A cart you turned off stays off. Turn it on again after you subscribe. A draft stays a draft until you click Publish.
- After you cancel a paid plan, a save switches things off. The app counts your store as having no Plus right away. Saving a live bundle or cart turns it off, even with paid days left. A saved bundle becomes a draft, and we delete its Shopify discount.
- A live AI home page loses most of its content. On AI Pages, Restore original home page works without Plus.
- Section AI credits: the 15 monthly credits end with Plus. Credits from sections you bought stay.
- Plus sections on Home show Reactivate Plus, or you can buy one outright from the arrow next to it.
Bringing it back
Subscribe again, and whatever is still switched on returns by itself: Conversion Blocks, and bundles and carts that read Active, with their discounts. The rest needs a click:
- A cart that reads Draft: open Cart Drawer and turn on its switch.
- A bundle that's a draft: it stays a draft after you subscribe. Open it and click Publish.
- A bundle you deleted: it doesn't come back. Build it again.
Still inside a paid period? Click Subscribe again and approve the charge in Shopify. This starts a new subscription on your current plan and price. Billing starts when you approve. You get no credit for the days you already paid for. If you can wait, subscribing after the paid period ends wastes no paid days.
