If you are due to go away for a week or two to a place where the sun shines brighter, then it’s a good idea to install the Holiday Mode feature before you go. This allows you to display a notice on the Shopping Cart page informing your customers that you’re away, and you can choose whether or not you want to continue accepting orders whilst you’re away too! Bear in mind it’s best practice to accept orders if you’re away, as not taking orders for a period of time can put off potential new customers to your Obodo shop.

Allow Orders = If this box is ticked, it will still be possible for customers to place orders whilst you are away.

When you have configured the Holiday Mode settings, you need to click the green Save button to the bottom right-hand side:
