Frequently asked questions

What is the Woo Store Vacation plugin?

The Woo Store Vacation plugin is a perfect solution for online store owners who need to pause their business temporarily. Whether you need to take a break from managing your store or are unable to fulfill orders or respond to customer inquiries.

How does the vacation mode work?

You can easily schedule a vacation period based on your local time. During this period, your shop will automatically pause, and customers will not be able to place new orders. However, your shop will reopen again at the beginning of the end date, ensuring that you don’t miss out on any potential sales or customers while you take a break.

Does the vacation mode affect SEO?

The plugin is designed to have no negative impact on your site’s SEO. It does not add any meta tags, such as no-index, to your store, ensuring that your site’s search engine rankings are not affected while the vacation mode is activated.

Can I customize the vacation notice?

Yes, the vacation notice feature lets you create a personalized automated message to inform users about important details while your shop is closed. You can include the start and return dates using smart tags {{start_date}} and {{end_date}}. Additionally, you can customize the notice’s color to match your site branding and add a call-to-action button that directs users to a specific page, like the contact page.

Can I exclude certain products from the vacation mode?

Yes, if you have enabled the “Disable Purchase” option in the General settings, the plugin provides you with extensive customization options to tailor the availability of your shop during vacation mode. Take full control over your shop’s operations by excluding certain Products, Categories, Tags, Types of products, and Shipping Classes from being affected by the vacation mode.
