How it sells itself

Awayly closes your store on the dates you choose, every week, or for Shabbat and Yom Tov by your city's sunset times, and reopens it on its own in your store's time zone. While you're closed, checkout refuses orders, including Buy it now, Shop Pay and direct checkout links. Shoppers keep browsing and see a bar, pop-up or full page that says when you're back.

Schedule your store's vacation in a few clicks. During the dates you choose, a banner tells visitors you're away and product pages show when orders will ship, so you can keep selling and avoid support emails. Prefer to stop orders? Pro blocks checkout with your own message. Everything turns on and off automatically on your dates, in your store's timezone, with nothing to remember when you leave or come back.

Key points
  • Checkout refused while closed, including Buy it now and Shop Pay
  • Close now, on dates, every week, or for Shabbat by your city's sunset
  • Bar, pop-up or full page that says when you reopen, with a countdown
  • Notify me when you're back: one email to shoppers when you reopen
  • Schedule your vacation dates in advance, with automatic reopening
  • Show a store-wide banner with your own message and colors
  • Display the shipping date on product pages
  • Pro: block checkout during your vacation with a custom message
