Magical Vacation Mode

Great option for Shopify owners for vacation mode. With their help, they (Bhanu, Arnold and John) were able to customize my shop so that I didn’t need to put my shop on pause. Now, my store remains active to browse and my checkout is disabled for the period I choose to not take orders. I absolutely love it!

Could not be easier to set up. They achieved what Shopify with all it’s limitless resources couldn’t. A simple vaction mode app.

Jeff was so helpful with my issues pausing my store. Definitely recommend this app if you ever need to pause your store when you need to.

Not having a vacation option in Shopify, this application solves the problem. John has been a great help in assisting me with every step and solving all my questions. Highly recommend.

A fabulous app for a small business, we all need a break from time to time but shopify unfortunately does not have a holiday (or vacation) mode like Etsy or Ebay yet. This app fills that gap, offering a simple way to keep your shop running while you are away. No impact on your SEO or traffic with a simple install to remove the add to cart button, which is replaced with a simple message your away.

You can easily mod the message and say what you like, so an opportunity to keep on brand or tweak to local language (e.g. vacation vs. holiday). You can also set it up to automatically turn on again while you are away, so close your shop a week before you go and reopen again while you are away so you have some work to come back to, brilliant.

It's well thought out, not bloated with irrelevant or overcomplicated functions and John in support as other have said already, is a really super nice guy and who will help set things up if needed. This app allowed us to take some family time away from shopify, emails, social media and other apps just for a week. It was a real blessing after years being stuck on a treadmill (like many family businesses). Highly recommended.

What a blessing this milestone app is.

For years I confused my customers by doing the only thing that Shopify allows you to do: Password protect your site.

Most of my not so tech savy customers hence believed that I went out of business....

Thank you, Magical Apps!!!

FINALLY is all I can say - what a great and useful app for taking a break with your store and not having to follow the ridiculous suggestions by shopify to put the "coming soon" / password protected page back up - I don't care what kind of message you put on that page - it makes you look like you have gone out of business - and no one can browse your store!

With Magical Vacation mode - you can close for as long as you want, and still keep your shop open with a message (configurable) on the home page and product page so that customers don't get frustrated or confused.

Simple and lightweight - doesn't bog down the store. I personally have needed this app for years and am thrilled with the ease of set up AND the responsiveness of the developer who helped me tweak it to my needs.

Take a break, close for inventory - go on vacation - at the push of a button. 5 stars all the way!

Not so great: The app was free. I got on vacation with magical vacation mode. In the middle of my vacation in August the App was deactivated because now it’s $5 per month.

Just what I needed, easy to use and does what it says, simple as that! The setup took me less than a minute and everything is working well, thank you.

If you use Shopify and travel for business or personal this is a must have app. Highly recommend it. Customer service is outstanding.
