If your site has a free demo store, you can upgrade the store or remove the store when you republish your site.

To remove the demo store:
-
In the editor, on the top navigation bar, click Republish.

Delete all store widgets (search, cart).
-
Republish the site to make the changes live.

-
Upgrade store. Select the store type from the drop-down. Click Upgrade your store.
-
After removing the store, you must manually delete all store widgets from your site.
There is no way to undo removing the demo store, including using a backup and restore. You may add a new demo store, if needed.
