Set your WooCommerce shop to holiday mode with date range.
WooCommerce® Holiday Mode allows you to temporarily pause your online store during holidays, vacations, maintenance periods, or other planned breaks.
Define a start and end date for your closed period and automatically enable or disable holiday mode. During this time, you can display a prominently visible custom absence message to inform your customers about your temporary closure, return date, or other important information.
Features:
- Disable new orders by removing the add-to-cart button and displaying a custom message
- Disable the shopping cart (existing cart items will be removed when holiday mode is activated)
- Disable checkout during the holiday period
- Display a prominent custom absence message to inform customers about your temporary closure
- Schedule holiday mode with a specific start and end date
- Automatically deactivate holiday mode when the vacation period ends
