Yes, it is possible to remove the E-commerce functionality and collection pages from a website template in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the Pages panel.
  2. Locate the collection page that you want to remove and click on it to select it.
  3. Once the page is selected, click on the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar.
  4. In the "General" section, find the "Visibility" option and set it to "Hide from search engines". This will ensure that the page is not indexed by search engines.
  5. If the collection page is linked to any other pages or menu items, make sure to remove those links as well.
  6. Repeat this process for any other collection pages that you want to remove.

To remove the e-commerce functionality completely from your website template, you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Webflow project dashboard and select the "E-commerce" tab.
  2. In the "Settings" section, click on "Store Settings".
  3. In the "General" tab, find the "Store" section and turn off the "Enable E-commerce" toggle. This will disable all the e-commerce functionalities on your website.
  4. Scroll down and click on "Save".
  5. Now go to your project's Pages panel and remove any e-commerce-related pages that you don't need, such as the "Cart", "Checkout", or "Account" pages.
  6. If your template includes any e-commerce-related elements or components, you can simply delete or hide them on your desired page(s).

It's worth mentioning that removing the e-commerce functionality won't delete any data associated with your products or collections. This data will still be available in your Webflow project, should you decide to re-enable e-commerce functionality in the future.

In conclusion, removing the e-commerce functionality and collection pages from a website template in Webflow is quite straightforward. Just make sure to hide the collection pages and disable the e-commerce functionality from the store settings, and you'll have a website without e-commerce capabilities.
