Changing the currency does not convert your existing prices. Update product prices yourself after changing it.
Visibility
Open or close your site without losing anything.
The Site active switch decides whether visitors see your site. When it is off, visitors see a coming soon page. Your products, orders and settings are untouched.
Keep Site active off while you are setting up, then switch it on when you are ready to launch.
