Magical Vacation Mode

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.

Customer service is 5*
Excellent pricing and superior support!
What more could you ask for.
Well Done!

Neat app, super handy, makes it really easy to put your shop in vacation mode while customers can still explore the shop. Easy access to vacation mode variable through Liquid. Thank you!

As a one-woman show, this app is a life-saver!! I wanted a way for people to still be able to browse through my website when I take an occasional break, but not be able to actually place orders. It's a WAY better solution than putting a site into password protection mode.
It was the easiest thing to implement on my entire website, and it works like a charm. 100% thumbs up from me!

We need to put our store “Brand Name Lighting” on hold a few times a year. Only for a very short time when we are testing inventory feeds, etc. Shopify gives you two options:

1) Password protect. Not good, as we will loose all the SEO we worked so hard to get and current customers won’t be able to login.
2) Change plan to “Pause and Build”. Problem is that this option did not allow us to put the store on hold right away, only when our current plan expires (almost in a month). Customer support was very good, opening a ticket with the billing department, etc. But we can’t have this hassle every time we need to put our Shopify store on vacation mode.

This app was the right solution! Installed in seconds, the owner has video tutorials in the setup section giving you step by step instructions! So easy! Removes the checkout icon from the top of the page and removes the “add to cart” buttons. You can customize everything! Including adding a “vacation mode” custom image, all the text and colors.

Very happy with this app! If you need LED lighting and electrical supplies, you go to Brand Name Lighting (https://brandnamelighting.com/). If you need a very good “Vacation” app that works without bugs, you go to Magical Vacation Mode.

Gerade gekauft. Eingerichtet, Regel erstellt und läuft ohne Probleme. Ich würde es noch cool finden, wenn man das Popup Fenster (Banner unten rechts) auch via Einstellung, mittig einblenden lassen könnte.

Update: in den Settings gibt es die Option dazu, wunderbar.

This app is amazingly helpful when our staff is traveling, does exactly what it advertises and made better by amazing support!

I asked for help with my theme, and within 12 hours, the team got me up and running. Amazing customer service. Thank you.

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!

We are giving the customer service team 5 stars for taking care of a small problem with our installation. Fantastic support! The app is something we have needed on Shopify for a long time. Online Store can stay open while on vacation in Google eyes and yet stops the ordering process.
