# Remove a store from its multi-store group

> Clears `merchant_id`'s multi-store group. Refused while the store still has collection mappings in the group or other stores replicate from it; unlink those first (POST unlink-collections). Side effect: writes the merchant's group. A no-op for a merchant in no group.
