About this plugin
Codiffy Store Hours for WooCommerce lets your shop take orders only when you can fulfil them. Set your opening hours for each day of the week, add holiday closures, or close the whole store with one tick. While the store is closed, customers can still browse products, but they cannot add to cart or check out, and a clear notice tells them when you open again.
It is ideal for restaurants, takeaways, bakeries, florists, local delivery and click-and-collect shops, and any store that needs to pause orders for a holiday or a stock-take.
Features
- Weekly schedule: for every day choose Open all day, Open between two times, or Closed.
- Overnight hours: a closing time earlier than the opening time runs past midnight (for example 18:00 to 02:00).
- Holidays and closures: list single dates or date ranges when the store is closed all day.
- Close store now: one switch closes the store until you open it again.
- Uses your site timezone: hours follow the timezone set in Settings > General, including daylight-saving changes.
- Orders are paused, carts are kept: while closed, Add to cart and checkout are blocked (classic and block checkout), but items already in customers’ carts are kept for when you reopen.
- Notice bar: a customisable, accessible message at the top or bottom of the page, for example “Our store is closed right now. We open again tomorrow at 9:00 am.” Visitors can dismiss it.
- Smart placeholders: {next_open} shows when you open again and {today_hours} shows today’s hours.
- Shortcodes: [codiffy_store_hours] shows your weekly opening hours table and [codiffy_store_status] shows the open/closed message on any page.
- Live status: the settings screen shows whether your store is open right now.
- Shop managers can change the hours; no administrator access is needed.
- Lightweight: no external services, no tracking, and the notice files load only when the notice is shown.
How it works
- Go to WooCommerce > Store Hours.
- Set each day to Open all day, Open between or Closed.
- Add any holiday dates.
- Write your closed message (or keep the default) and save.
Outside your opening hours the store automatically pauses orders and shows the notice; at opening time everything switches back on by itself.
Developers
The filter codiffy_store_hours_is_open lets you override the open/closed decision, for example for a custom rule.
