How it sells itself

One notice bar, three jobs. Turn on vacation mode with an optional date range and message, and hide Add to cart while you're away. Set weekly store hours so shoppers see when you open next. Count down to your daily shipping cutoff, then show the next shipping day. Every time uses your store's time zone, so shoppers abroad see your clock, not theirs.

Openly shows your opening hours on your store: a live “Open now · closes 5:00 PM” bar, a floating badge with the week, and an hours block for any page. Set breaks, late nights past midnight, closed days and holidays, and close early with one click and a note. Turn on Pause orders and Add to cart and checkout stop while you’re closed, including Buy it now and Shop Pay.

Key points
  • Vacation mode with optional dates; hide Add to cart while you're away
  • Weekly store hours with an automatic "we open next" message
  • Same-day shipping cutoff countdown in your store's time zone
  • Live open or closed status bar and badge, in your store’s time zone
  • Weekly hours with breaks, late nights past midnight and closed days
  • Holidays and special dates that replace the usual week automatically
  • Close now with one click and a note shoppers see, then reopen
