Going on holiday, moving stock or just need a break? Put your WooCommerce shop in vacation mode without hiding it. Products stay visible (and keep their search rankings), customers see a clear notice with your reopening date, and the shop opens again by itself.<\/p>\n\n
Set the dates once under WooCommerce > Settings > Store hours and forget about it: the shop closes at the start time, shows \"Our shop is closed until 9 November, 9:00\", and reopens on time. No coming-back-to-untick-a-box, no lost customers who think the shop is gone.<\/p>\n\n
{reopen}<\/code>), on every page or only on shop pages, or anywhere with the [pcsh_notice]<\/code> shortcode.<\/li>\n- Announce a vacation in advance: show \"we'll be closed from \u2026 until \u2026\" a few days before.<\/li>\n
- \"Notice only\" mode: keep taking orders and just tell customers that orders ship after you return.<\/li>\n
- Keep chosen categories purchasable (for example gift cards or downloads).<\/li>\n
- Works with the cart and checkout blocks and classic themes.<\/li>\n
- No external services, no tracking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Pro add-on (optional)<\/h4>\n\n
Everything above is free and stays free. A separate paid add-on adds:<\/p>\n\n

\nDo customers still see my products?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Only purchasing is paused. Product pages, categories and search stay as they are.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What about orders that are already placed?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThey are not affected. You can process them as usual.<\/p><\/dd>\n
My shop still looks open to some visitors<\/h3><\/dt>\nIf you use a page cache, clear it after closing or reopening, or exclude shop pages from the cache.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Which time zone is used?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe time zone under Settings > General.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I keep taking orders and just show a notice?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Set \"While closed\" to show the notice only. Customers can still order and see that orders ship after you return.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I set regular weekly opening hours?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe free plugin handles closures and vacations. Weekly opening hours (for example Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00, including hours past midnight) and multiple planned closures are in the optional Pro add-on.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
