Descriptions of store statuses.
StatusDescription
Active

Active stores are fully activated stores.

An active store isn't necessarily open to the public. Some setup for a new store might be required, such as adding products, staff, or sales channels.

Pending contract addition

Pending stores are newly created stores that might exceed your contract limits.

Pending stores become active after the request has been processed by Shopify and you've approved any additional charges.

Store type

A store's type is its general purpose. The type might affect the billing or setup of the store, but won't restrict its features or capabilities. This feature is only available on the Shopify Plus plan.
