Yes, the "orders" and "ecommerce" tabs can be disabled on the Webflow editor for sites that do not intend to use those features. This can be done by restricting access to these tabs for certain user roles in the project settings.

To disable the "orders" and "ecommerce" tabs in the Webflow editor, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Webflow account and click on the project you want to disable the tabs for.
  2. In the project settings, click on the "Users" tab.
  3. Under "User roles," select the user role that you want to restrict access for.
  4. Scroll down to the "Pages and assets" section and toggle off the "Ecommerce" option.
  5. Save the changes.

By disabling the "ecommerce" option for a specific user role, those users will no longer see the "orders" and "ecommerce" tabs in the Webflow editor. This ensures that only users with the appropriate permissions can access and manage ecommerce-related features.

Disabling these tabs for sites that do not intend to use ecommerce can help simplify the editor interface and make it more focused on the specific needs of the site. It also ensures that users who are not responsible for managing ecommerce features do not have access to them, reducing the risk of accidental changes or unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Overall, Webflow provides flexibility in customizing the editor interface based on the specific needs of your site and the roles of your team members.
