Open or close your store

Open Settings → Settings → Store status.

• Open — open to everyone.
• Closed — visitors see a page of your choice instead of the store. You can still use the admin.

Changes reach every visitor within 15 seconds.

Choose the closed page

Pick a design. Your logo, name and colour are filled in for you.

• Coming soon designs (before launch): Coming soon, Launch ticket, Studio collection, Type after dark — with an email signup, some with a countdown.
• Closed designs: Maintenance (a short pause), Planned break (holidays, with the reopening date and a countdown), Temporary pause, After hours, Hanging sign, and Permanent closure (shows order support only).

Preview shows the page; Edit this page in the layout editor lets you change it further.

Reopening and message

• Opening date and time — shown as a countdown, in each visitor's own time zone.
• Open the store automatically at this time — the store opens by itself when the countdown ends.
• Headline and Message — your own text. Leave empty to use the design's text.

See your store while it's closed

Copy the Access link and open it in your browser. It shows the real store in that browser until the browser is closed, so you and your team can test before launch.

Good to know

• While closed, search engines are told the store is temporarily unavailable. A long closure can drop pages from search results.
• To stay open with a notice instead, add an announcement or countdown block to your header in My store → Layouts.
