Fungies never deletes a workspace the moment it goes quiet. Instead, an inactive workspace moves through a series of recoverable stages — with plenty of warning by email — and your data stays safe until the very last step. This page explains exactly how that works and what keeps a workspace protected forever.
The short version: sign in every couple of months and you never have to think about this. Any workspace that has ever taken a payment is kept active forever and is never paused or deleted.

​
What keeps a workspace active

A workspace stays active as long as any one of the following is true:

You sign in regularly

Signing in at least once every couple of months keeps a free workspace active.

You've made a sale

Any workspace that has ever taken a paid order is kept active forever.

You have an active subscription

Workspaces with a live subscription are always kept.

Your Stripe account is live

If your connected Stripe account can accept payments, the workspace is always kept.
If none of these apply — typically an empty or abandoned workspace on the free plan — it becomes eligible for the inactivity lifecycle below.

​
The inactivity lifecycle

If a free workspace stays inactive, it moves through these stages. Every stage before deletion is fully recoverable — just sign back in.
1

Heads-up email (7 days before)

We email the workspace owner about a week before anything happens, so you have time to sign in and keep the workspace active.
2

Paused

The workspace and its store are taken offline, but nothing is deleted — your data, settings, and store are fully intact. Sign in at any time to bring it straight back online.
3

Archived (30 days later)

If the workspace stays paused for about a month, it’s archived. It’s still recoverable and your data is retained — you’ll get another email with the date it’s scheduled for removal.
4

Permanently deleted (90 days later)

About three months after archiving, if the workspace is still untouched, it and its data are permanently deleted. We send a final reminder before this happens.
Deletion is the only irreversible step. Up to that point you can restore everything simply by signing in before the date in your reminder emails.

​
How to bring a workspace back

1

Sign in

Go to app.fungies.io and sign in with the owner account.
2

Open the workspace

Selecting the paused or archived workspace reactivates it and brings your store back online automatically.
If a workspace has already been permanently deleted, it can’t be recovered — please contact support and we’ll help you get set up again.

​
Workspaces that are never swept

Some workspaces are exempt from the inactivity lifecycle entirely and are always kept active:
Even after a workspace is deleted, Fungies retains the invoices and financial records required by law and by our role as Merchant of Record. Deletion removes your store and its content — not the tax/accounting trail for past sales.
