How Do I Put My Shopify Store on Vacation?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:49 pm

It’s summertime, and that means vacations! If you’re a Shopify store owner, you may be wondering how to put your store on vacation mode so you can enjoy your time off without worry.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do just that:

1. Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Settings > General.

2. Under the “Store status” section, click the checkbox next to “Put your store on vacation.”

3. In the “Vacation message” field, enter the message you want visitors to see when they come to your store.

For example, you could say something like “We’re currently on vacation and will be back soon!” or “We’re closed for the summer season.”

PRO TIP: If you are considering putting your Shopify store on vacation, there are a few things you should be aware of. First, any changes you make to your store while it is on vacation mode will not go live until you turn off vacation mode. This means that if you add or remove products, change your theme, or make any other changes, your customers will not see these changes until you turn off vacation mode. Second, while your store is in vacation mode, customers will not be able to purchase products from your store. If you have a physical product that you sell in person, you may want to consider putting up a sign or posting a note on your door informing customers that your store is currently closed for vacation. Finally, be sure to turn off any automatic email notifications (such as order confirmation emails) before putting your store into vacation mode, as customers will still receive these emails even though they cannot purchase anything from your store.

4. When you’re done, click Save.

That’s it! Your Shopify store is now in vacation mode. When you’re ready to reopen your store, simply uncheck the “Put your store on vacation” checkbox and click Save again.
