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

Holy Day Off is the most trusted way for Jewish-owned WooCommerce stores to observe Shabbat and Jewish holidays — fully automated, zero manual work.

Pick your city, and the plugin does the rest. It knows exactly when Shabbat starts and ends based on halachic times for your location, and automatically manages your entire store: disabling purchases, hiding payment options, and showing visitors a beautiful, customizable alert bar.

Whether you run a small online shop or a high-traffic eCommerce site, Holy Day Off keeps your store compliant with your values — while you rest.

Why Store Owners Choose Holy Day Off

Set it and forget it. No need to manually close and reopen your store every week. Holy Day Off runs on autopilot — checking Shabbat times every 5 minutes so your store transitions seamlessly.

Works with modern WooCommerce. Full support for WooCommerce Blocks (cart & checkout), classic templates, and HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage). No matter how your store is set up, Holy Day Off has you covered.

Beautiful admin experience. A clean, card-based dashboard gives you instant visibility into your store’s status, next Shabbat times, and all settings — with a live alert bar preview so you see exactly what your visitors will see.
