Access all your Unstoppable plugins from one convenient menu. ### External Services This plugin connects to an external license server to activate and validate optional premium license keys. Core order-pause functionality works fully without a license; this service is contacted only when you choose to use a license key. **Unstoppable Solutions License Server (hosted on the Base44 platform)** * **Endpoint contacted:** https://fm-web-solutions-plugin-hub-d05f2182.base44.app/ functions (the validateLicense, activateLicense, and deactivateLicense functions). * **Used for:** Activating, validating, and deactivating a premium license key. * **When:** Only when a site administrator clicks Activate or Deactivate on the License tab in the plugin settings. The plugin makes no automatic or background requests to this service; viewing the settings page reads a locally cached status and does not contact the server. * **Data sent:** The license key you enter, your site URL, your site name (on activation only), and the plugin slug. * **Service provider:** Unstoppable Solutions, via the Base44 hosting platform. * **Website:** [https://unstoppablesolutions.app](https://unstoppablesolutions.app) * **Terms of Service:** [https://unstoppablesolutions.app/terms](https://unstoppablesolutions.app/terms) * **Privacy Policy:** [https://unstoppablesolutions.app/privacy](https://unstoppablesolutions.app/privacy) ## Installation 1.

After activating the plugin, you’ll see the Options Studio menu in your WordPress admin bar at the top of the screen. Click on it and select “Orders: Active” to access quick pause options. You can choose from preset durations or pause indefinitely. ### Will paused orders affect existing orders? No, pausing only prevents NEW orders from being placed. Any existing orders in your system will not be affected and can be processed normally. ### Can customers still browse products when orders are paused? Yes, customers can still browse your shop and view products. However, depending on your settings, the “Add to Cart” button may be hidden and checkout will be blocked. A notice will inform them that orders are temporarily paused. ### Can I schedule daily closing times? Yes! Go to Options Studio Order Pause Schedule tab, select “Daily Schedule” mode, and set your opening and closing times. Orders will automatically pause outside these hours. ### Does this work with WooCommerce Subscriptions? The pause feature applies to all new orders. Existing subscriptions with scheduled renewals will continue to process normally. If you need to pause subscription renewals, you should manage those directly in WooCommerce Subscriptions settings. ### How do I customize the pause message? Go to Options Studio Order Pause Settings tab. You can customize the message shown to customers and use the {time} placeholder to show when orders will resume. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Unstoppable Order Pause for WooCommerce” is open source software.
