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

This company is so easy to work with. they set it up for me soI can relax on vacation. Thank you so much for all you do!
While scouring the internet trying to find a good solution for going away for a few days, I learned about Magical Vacation Mode in the Shopify Forums. I certainly am glad that I gave it a try. The app did exactly what I needed it to...let my visitors know that they can look at my items but not purchase until my return. There was also an option for them to request a notification when I reopened. When I installed the app, I quickly received a note from a human asking if I needed help setting it up! While I didn't, it was easy, it was nice that someone was there if I needed them. When I returned, it was painless to go back to selling. I can't recommend this service enough, it solves a problem that enables me to take time off without the worry.
Everything looked good doing it myself but since we are using a vintage Shopify theme, I was unable to do inline messaging. Jeff the developer stepped in quickly and put in some code to really customize our message. Easy to use and implement, would fully recommend for anyone looking for an app to close their store for a brief period.
I cannot believe Shopify does not have a vacation setting, but for a mere $5 per year (that's right, not per month ... $5 per year) this app made it super easy. Actually the tech support made it super easy. I took them up on the offer to set up the app for me with a simple email, and after just a few quick email exchanges they set it all up for me! Could not have been easier. I'm so grateful.
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!
This is exactly what we needed! It allows customers to still browse the store without being able to place an order. I like that the messaging pops up with an email capture, too.
If you use Shopify and travel for business or personal this is a must have app. Highly recommend it. Customer service is outstanding.
