How can I cancel my Shopify store? (Shopify Classic Admin)

If you're not ready to open up shop, you don't have to permanently close your account. Trial stores will automatically expire after 30 days and go into a frozen state. You can re-open any time thereafter. 
Open stores can also be put into a frozen state. Just whip an email over to billing@shopify.com to set this up.
