Pausify blocks every order while you are away — on Shopify's own servers, not by hiding a button — and leaves your storefront visible and indexed.
Install on ShopifyFree plan, no credit card. Uninstalls without leaving a trace.
The block is a Shopify validation function, enforced server-side. It covers direct cart links, checkout links you sent last week, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and the Shop app. Every other vacation app hides the buy button, which anyone can go around.
No password page, no noindex tag, no redirect. Your pages keep being served and indexed exactly as before — which is the difference with Etsy's vacation mode, where sellers routinely lose weeks of visibility on their return.
A banner on a store people can still browse, or a full-screen curtain if you would rather close it visually. Announce your reopening date and let visitors add it to their calendar — Pausify asks them for nothing and stores nothing.
Schedule the closing and the reopening in your store's time zone. The store reopens on its own while you are still away. Nothing to remember, nothing to come back to.
Pausify runs as a theme app extension. Uninstall it and your store is back to normal instantly, with no leftover code — the single most common complaint about apps in this category.
The pause and the server-side blocking are free, with no time limit. The Premium plan adds scheduled dates, automatic reopening, the curtain mode and the announced reopening date: $1.99 per month or $9.99 per year, with a 7-day trial.
