I am a novice designer, familiar with HTML only, however I would like to eliminate, or hide the "Shop Home" page and all links to it. I do not understand why I need it because I already have a home/index page on my site. Nor do the PDF instructions explain how to do anything with it, other than purchasing yet another program to edit it. How can I make it go away?

The Shop Home page is a default and cannot be removed. You may have a home page on your domain, but the 2 pages are not the same and the Shop Home page is integrated with the shop while your html home page is not so it's definitely needed. Why not change the content on the Shop Home page to enhance your shopper's experience (to things other than what is on your html home page) so that there is a little more detail there than the main home page has.

If you insist on changing it, you may be able to change the name by double clicking on it in the list of pages on the right side when editing things in the Pages section of your shop. Many people change it to something like Shop Now or Start Shopping or even just Shop or something similar so that the visitors know that that is the button to press to go to the shop itself. Nothing wrong with having them both, just utilize it so it's beneficial and you'll be fine.

Hi Johnnie,
Publish your shop to a sub directory like /shop or /store or what ever fits your needs.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

And then from there go into your settings for your shop in the software, and edit the home page settings of it so that it points to the new page you just created.
Add the Shop to your menu on your new page and then it will reference each other back and forth. :)
