Disable Sales for WooCommerce

Going on holiday, closing over Christmas and New Year, doing a stock-take, selling only in season or taking orders only during opening hours? Disable Sales for WooCommerce closes the shop for the period you choose and opens it again by itself – no need to set products out of stock or switch the shop to maintenance mode.

Closed over Christmas? Set 24 December to 1 January once, tick “Repeat” and your shop closes and reopens on its own every year. Customers can still browse, they just cannot order – and they see when you are back.

• Pick a first and a last closed day; both are included, the shop reopens the day after.
• Repeat the same period every year (also across New Year, e.g. 20 December to 6 January) – or use it for seasonal selling, e.g. Christmas trees only from late November to Christmas Eve.
• Close the shop every day between two times, e.g. 22:00 to 06:00 or outside your delivery hours; closing hours may cross midnight.
• While closed, no product can be added to the cart and existing carts cannot be checked out.
• Customers see a WooCommerce-style notice on the cart and checkout – or on every page, if you want.
• Write your own notice texts, with [date_from]/[date_to] for the dates and [time_from]/[time_to] for the daily hours.
• Works with the classic cart and checkout and with the cart and checkout blocks; compatible with high-performance order storage (HPOS).
• Dates and times use your shop’s timezone, date and time format.

Settings: WooCommerce → Settings → Disable Sales.
