I’ve tested with version 6.1.1. The banner does not appear, it only removes the 
add to basket and google and/or apple pay button. It would be useful if the settings
were more fruitful and it would allow you to just show the message rather than stop
orders all together.

Great! Simple and useful plugin. Everything works flawlessly. This plugin enables
everything that I could not achieve with code snippets. Amazingly good.

Easy to configure, it does what it should and if after the vacation everything works
again (the cache) I am very happy. The alternative message is not displayed although
configured. But for the functionality and because the plugin is free 4 stars anyway.

I was tasked with shutting down a client’s WooCommerce store for the Xmas holidays
so being lazy and in a hurry I looked to see if there was a well worn plugin for
that simple task. Some were far too elaborate, others expensive for what little 
I needed, but this one with zero reviews yet turned out to be just right. Closed
for the Holidays, that’s it. I’m going to make myself a rum and eggnog now. I’d 
like to buy Heinrich Franz a drink. Maybe I’d prefer the controls somewhere under
Woocomerce than under Appearance – Customize – but hey, whatever.
