Closing a page
What closing stops, what it leaves, and when it's refused.
A page is closed from its own settings:
Switch to the page → ⚙️ → bottom of the screen → "Close this page"
You'll need proof of identity less than ten minutes old — see Actions that need fresh proof.
It's one of the five things that can't be delegated: no team member can close your page.
What Friym tells you before you confirm
- "The page can no longer be found: not in search, not by its link, not in anyone's following list."
- "Your {n} followers lose the page."
- "This page's conversations become read-only, on both sides."
- "Your products are pulled from sale."
- "Your account, your other profiles and your sign-in are untouched."
Nothing is erased
Your posts survive, anonymised
"Your posts are not erased: they stay readable where they were posted, signed “Friym user”, but are no longer surfaced in any feed."
So closing a page isn't a deletion. It's a disappearance from the surface of the product: no longer findable, no longer suggested, no longer active.
You have 30 days to change your mind
"You can reopen the page for 30 days. After that, its handle becomes available to someone else."
After closing, the screen shows: "Page closed — You can reopen it now, or any time until {date}." See Reopening a page or an account.
When closing is refused
Commerce protects closure: you don't close a page that still owes a delivery, or that's waiting on money.
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| "{n} orders are in progress. They must be completed or cancelled before closing." | Fulfil or cancel those orders |
| "A payout is in progress. Wait until it settles." | Wait for the transfer |
| "We could not check your payouts just now. Nothing is lost — try again in a moment." | A simple hiccup, start again |
If you meant to close your personal profile
That's a different thing: "This profile is your account's own: closing it goes through Close my account." See Closing your account.
