Sell with Shop
The Sell with Shop setting manages all the features that let customers purchase from your store on Shop. This includes the Shop Store, product detail pages, and checkout. This setting allows you to sell your products on the Shop app, and must be activated for your store to be discoverable in searches.
If your store meets the eligibility requirements in the Shop Merchant Guidelines, then the Sell with Shop setting is activated automatically. If you don't want to sell your products on the Shop app, then you can deactivate the Sell with Shop setting.

Shop search
