Getting Started With ShopEngine Vacation Module #

With the ShopEngine Vacation Module, you can put up a notice (i.e not open for orders) for your Weekly Off days as well as any Off days due to vacation or personal reasons. Online shopping options will be unavailable for the visitors during the off days time period you set using the module.

While consumers can browse your website and see all the products, they can not add products to the cart and thus can not place an order during the vacation period.

And this weekly off-day function is a recursive function meaning it will apply for every single week until you turn this option off.
