How Do I Temporarily Disable WooCommerce Store?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 7:35 pm

There are a few reasons why you might want to disable your WooCommerce store. Maybe you’re going on vacation and don’t want to process orders while you’re away.

Maybe you’re doing some maintenance on your site and need to take the store offline for a little while. Whatever the reason, it’s easy to temporarily disable your WooCommerce store.

PRO TIP: If you are considering temporarily disabling your WooCommerce store, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, it is important to note that any changes you make to your store while it is disabled will not go into effect until you re-enable the store. This means that if you make any changes to products, pages, or other settings while the store is disabled, those changes will not be visible to customers until you re-enable the store. Additionally, any orders placed while the store is disabled will not be processed until the store is re-enabled. Therefore, if you are considering temporarily disabling your WooCommerce store, it is important to plan ahead and make sure that all of your products and settings are updated and ready to go before you disable the store.

To do so, simply go to the WooCommerce Settings page and click on the “General” tab. From there, scroll down to the “Store Status” section and select the “Closed” option. Once you’ve done that, be sure to click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

Now, when someone tries to access your store, they’ll see a message saying that it’s closed. You can customize this message by going to the “Closed” tab and adding your own text.

When you’re ready to open your store back up again, simply go back to the “Store Status” section and select the “Open” option. Again, don’t forget to click on the “Save Changes” button. And that’s all there is to it!
