Depending on whether you need a pause or a full stop, you have three ways to stop Navi+, from light to heavy. Choose the lightest level that still lets your store run normally. That saves you from reinstalling later.
Check before you turn off or uninstall
- If you’ve ever hidden the theme’s original menu using Replace mode in Navi+, with CSS, or with a theme option, read the section on turning the theme’s menu back on below before you uninstall.
- If you plan to use the menu again later, back up your menu first.
Level 1: Turn off one menu
Use this when you only want to hide one menu from your store, but keep it in the app to edit later or turn back on.
-
Open the Navi+ app and go to the menu list.

Open the menu you want to turn off, click Publish, then click Turn off so the Status: ON line changes to Status: OFF. ON
The menu you turned off disappears from your store but stays in the app. When you want it back, just click Turn on. A turned-off menu also doesn’t count against your plan’s published-menu limit.
Level 2: Turn off all of Navi+ with the app embed
Use this when you want to stop all Navi+ menus on your store, but you aren’t ready to uninstall the app. All your menus and settings in Navi+ stay intact.
-
In the Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes, then click Customize on the live theme.
-
Click the App embeds icon in the left sidebar.
-
Turn off the Store Connector switch, which is Navi+’s app embed, then click Save at the top.

This switch is set separately for each theme, so if your store has several themes, turn it off on the live theme. To run Navi+ again, just turn Store Connector back on and click Save.
Level 3: Uninstall the app
Only use this when you no longer need Navi+ at all.
Turn the theme’s menu back on before uninstalling
If you previously hid the theme’s original menu to make room for Navi+, do this step before you uninstall, so your store doesn’t end up with an empty navigation bar:
- If you hid it with Replace mode, or with CSS pasted right into Navi+: this hiding is tied to the app. When Navi+ stops running, the theme’s original menu shows again automatically.
- If you hid it with CSS or an option inside the theme itself: this change stays after you uninstall Navi+. You need to delete that CSS or reset the theme option to bring the old menu back. If you edited the theme code directly, restore it from the theme’s version history.
You can review what you did in Hide the theme’s built-in menu.
Steps to uninstall the app
-
In the Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps, the section for apps and sales channels.
-
Find Navi+, click the … button, then choose Uninstall.
-
Confirm the uninstall, then open your online store to check whether the theme’s original menu is back.
What happens after you uninstall
- Your theme no longer contains any Navi+ code. The app only uses one app embed and doesn’t write anything into your theme’s files, so you don’t need to clean up any code.
- Your paid plan cancels with it. On Shopify, uninstalling the app means cancelling your Navi+ subscription on your Shopify bill. For details, see Plans and billing.
- Navi+ no longer has access to your store. As soon as you uninstall, your store’s access token is deleted, at the same time as your subscription is cancelled.
- Old menus may or may not come back when you reinstall later. Don’t assume the old data is still there. If you want to keep it, back it up before you uninstall.
- At your first uninstall, you may get an email asking why you uninstalled. Whether you reply or ignore it makes no difference.
When you want to use it again
If you only turned off a menu at level 1, or turned off the app embed at level 2, you don’t need to reinstall the app. Just turn the switch back on. If you uninstalled completely at level 3, reinstall Navi+ from the App Store as you did the first time, then turn on the app embed for your live theme.
Don't delete code from your theme to "uninstall" Navi+. Navi+ doesn't have code in your theme, so you'd only delete parts of the theme by mistake. Use one of the three levels above.
Other platforms
The steps above are for Shopify — the default way.
To uninstall Navi+, go to the Wix Dashboard, find the app management section, then find Navi+ and uninstall it. Payment goes through Wix, so cancel your plan in the app’s plan management on Wix.
WordPress: turn off or delete the Navi+ plugin under Plugins. Other websites: delete the code snippet you pasted in the head tag. The menu stops showing right away after you delete it. These platforms don’t have a Shopify app embed or theme editor.
