Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureVacation mode for your Shopify store. Set dates once, or every week or year, and Away Mode turns on and off by itself. Pause orders replaces buy buttons with your message, and Shopify's checkout refuses orders, express checkouts included. Or keep selling with a shipping-resumes date on each order. Shoppers can still browse, search engines keep your pages, and a closing-soon bar warns shoppers before you go.
Keep shoppers informed about holiday closures, shipping delays and reopening dates. Create announcements in Shopify admin, schedule them in your store timezone and let them expire automatically. Match your storefront with custom colors and a responsive, dismissible bar. Enable the app embed in your theme editor without editing code.
