How Do I Put WooCommerce on Vacation Mode?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:04 pm

If you’re going on vacation and want to take your WooCommerce store with you, there are a few things you need to do to make sure everything goes smoothly. First, you’ll need to put your store into “vacation mode.”

This will disable all payment methods and prevent customers from placing new orders. You can do this by going to WooCommerce > Settings > General, and then selecting the “Disable the shop” checkbox.

PRO TIP: If you are considering putting your WooCommerce store in vacation mode, there are a few things you should know. First, vacation mode is not a complete replacement for taking your store offline. It is meant to be used as a way to temporarily disable your store while still allowing customers to browse and purchase products. Second, when you put your store in vacation mode, all of your products will still be visible, but customers will not be able to add them to their cart or checkout. Finally, you will need to make sure that you have a plan in place for fulfilling any orders that are placed while your store is in vacation mode.

Once your store is in vacation mode, you’ll need to set up a “coming soon” page so that customers know when they can expect new orders to be processed. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Settings > General, and scroll down to the “Store notice” section.

Here, you can enter a message that will be displayed on all pages of your site. Be sure to include a date or time frame so that customers know when they can expect new orders to be processed.

Finally, you’ll need to take care of any existing orders before you go on vacation. Make sure all orders are fulfilled and shipped, and that any outstanding customer service issues are resolved. Once you’ve done this, you can relax and enjoy your vacation knowing that your WooCommerce store is in good hands!
