It would be nice to have an option in the drop down to close for vacation but continue receiving orders (not fully closed) during this time and advise with a message that orders placed will only be shipped after re-opening. i.e. Vacation Message: (Example) Thank you for your order. Please note that we we are closed for the Holidays and will not be shipping until January 2nd. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Thank you for your business in 2019 and we look forward serving you in 2020. Regards, Peter and Happy Holidays CCI - Tools for the Discriminating Chef

We use the Content Management system available for your store.

We occasionally have weather delays to shipping or have to be away due to illness. Steve

We went to Hawaii for about 12 days and still were able to process drop ships while on vacation and came home to some nice orders too. Michael

Setting this up is no more than 10 minutes. Here's the HTML added to the .dwt file directly below the opening <body> tag & the message will appear at the very top on all webpages or the webpages you choose it to be shown on. </head> <body> <div class="mainWrapper"> <?php $regionid=2; ?> <?php include "vsadmin/inc/inccontentregion.php" ?> <div class="headerWrapper"> <div class="top_row"> <div class="container"> <div class="row clearfix"> <div class="col-4a text-left topbarNav"> <a href="pay.php" class="paylink">Make a Payment</a> </div> The message to be added in the Content Region via the store admin, thus making editing / deleting a doddle <div class="alert"> Due to Covid 19, delivery timescales on some products is extended. You may contact us on or 00000 000000 to check. </div> Flavour the mix with adding a drop of CSS to the style.css file .alert { text-align: center; padding: 5px; background-color: #FFD51A; color: #000; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; font-weight: 300; } Upload the necessary site & CSS files via FTP & save the message to the Content Region & the end result looks like this.
