Holiday Mode for WooCommerce

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   I’ve been using this plugin for quite some time, and it’s great to see that it’s still actively maintained. Thanks to the developer for continuing to improve it and keep it up to date. It does exactly what I need: I can pause orders while I’m away without having to take my whole store offline. The setup is quick, the settings are easy to understand, and the option to display a custom message for customers is a nice touch. After all this time, it’s still the solution I keep coming back to whenever I need a reliable holiday mode for WooCommerce.

   I’ve tested with version 6.1.1. The banner does not appear, it only removes the add to basket and google and/or apple pay button. It would be useful if the settings were more fruitful and it would allow you to just show the message rather than stop orders all together.

   Great! Simple and useful plugin. Everything works flawlessly. This plugin enables everything that I could not achieve with code snippets. Amazingly good.

   Easy to configure, it does what it should and if after the vacation everything works again (the cache) I am very happy. The alternative message is not displayed although configured. But for the functionality and because the plugin is free 4 stars anyway. This topic was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by ausdemnichts.

   I was tasked with shutting down a client’s WooCommerce store for the Xmas holidays so being lazy and in a hurry I looked to see if there was a well worn plugin for that simple task. Some were far too elaborate, others expensive for what little I needed, but this one with zero reviews yet turned out to be just right. Closed for the Holidays, that’s it. I’m going to make myself a rum and eggnog now. I’d like to buy Heinrich Franz a drink. Maybe I’d prefer the controls somewhere under Woocomerce than under Appearance – Customize – but hey, whatever.
