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.

Timed Promobar puts a promotion bar at the top of your store and handles the timing for you. Set a start, an end, or a recurring window such as every Friday evening. All times run in your store's time zone, not your visitor's. Preview any future date to see exactly how the bar will look before it goes live, and see every campaign on one calendar.

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 bars with a start, an end, or a recurring weekly window
  • Preview your storefront at any future date before the campaign runs
  • Presets for Black Friday, Christmas and nine more seasonal dates
  • Static, rotating, marquee, countdown and shipping progress bars
