Overview

Closing an online store without warning confuses customers and can lead to orders you cannot fulfill. Store Vacation for WooCommerce gives you a vacation mode for planned breaks, inventory updates or maintenance. Your catalog stays online, while a message tells visitors what is happening and when you expect to reopen.

You set the closure yourself. Schedule vacation periods ahead of time, add recurring weekday closings, and review them in a calendar view in the settings area. Checkout can be disabled, and a cart building option lets shoppers fill their carts while checkout stays unavailable. Certain products can stay purchasable during downtime, so you decide how much of the store pauses.

Features

  • One-click vacation mode: Pause your WooCommerce store right away to prevent new orders during a planned break, then switch it back on when you return.
  • Custom vacation messages: Show visitors a personalized notice about your store status and expected reopening date, so they know what to expect when they visit.
  • Scheduled vacation periods: Set vacation mode to start and end at pre-set times, so your store reflects your availability without manual changes.
  • Recurring weekday closings: Create weekday records for regular closing days, and activate or deactivate several schedule and weekday records at once with bulk actions.
  • Checkout disabling: Stop customers from placing orders while the store is on vacation. Blocking works with both Classic Checkout and the Checkout Block.
  • Cart building during downtime: Let customers add products to the cart while checkout remains unavailable, so they can prepare an order for when you reopen.
  • Selective product availability: Choose which products stay purchasable during downtime, and decide whether others are hidden from the catalog or visible but unpurchasable.
  • Calendar and trash management: Review scheduled vacations in a calendar view. Trashed schedule, weekday and notice records can be restored or deleted permanently, singly or in bulk.

Best for

  • WooCommerce owners planning breaks or holiday closures
  • Stores that need maintenance or inventory downtime
  • Shops with regular weekday closing days
