Store Vacation Lite for WooCommerce

Formerly known as Woo Store Vacation — trusted by WooCommerce stores since 2017.

Going on vacation, closing for a holiday, or pausing for a fulfilment break? Store Vacation Lite for WooCommerce lets you temporarily stop taking new orders while keeping your store visible to customers.

Instead of taking your website offline, the plugin keeps your shop browsable and your products indexed while giving you control over whether visitors can place new orders. Schedule a vacation period, disable purchases, display a clear notice, and automatically reopen your store when the vacation ends.

This is useful when you want to:

• Take time off without receiving new orders.
• Pause checkout while still letting customers browse products.
• Show a clear vacation or holiday notice on your store.
• Let customers know when your shop will reopen.
• Keep selected products available during vacation mode.
• Avoid confusion, missed expectations, or unnecessary support messages.

Pause WooCommerce orders while keeping your store visible

When vacation mode is active, your shop remains online and accessible to visitors. Customers can still browse your products, but purchases can be paused by disabling the cart, checkout, and add-to-cart buttons.

This preserves your storefront and product visibility — and your SEO ranking — while preventing new orders during periods when you are unavailable.

Schedule your vacation dates

Set a start date and end date for your vacation period based on your site’s local timezone. Store Vacation Lite for WooCommerce automatically applies the vacation settings during the scheduled period and restores normal store behavior when the vacation ends.

You can also deactivate vacation mode manually at any time if you return earlier than planned.

Display a custom vacation notice

Create a clear vacation message to explain why the store is temporarily closed and when customers should return.

The vacation notice can include:

• Custom message text.
• Start and end date smart tags.
• Custom text and background colors.
• A call-to-action button.
• A custom button URL, such as a contact page.

The notice appears on WooCommerce shop and product pages. You can also place it on other pages using the Store Vacation Notice block, Elementor widget, or [woo_store_vacation] shortcode.
