Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

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
  • Optionally show the absence message on every page, not just the shop, product, cart and checkout pages
  • Schedule holiday mode with a specific start and end date
  • Optional advance-notice period – show a heads-up message a configurable number of days before the shop closes, so customers can still place orders before purchasing is disabled
  • Automatically deactivate holiday mode when the vacation period ends
  • Works with headless/decoupled storefronts and the Cart & Checkout blocks, via the WooCommerce Store API
  • Admin notice reminding you that Holiday Mode is currently active, shown throughout wp-admin
  • Plays nicely with caching plugins – automatically flushes your page cache when you save your settings, and marks pages as non-cacheable while Holiday Mode is active, so visitors never see a stale, out-of-date version of your shop
