Reviews summary

The Magical Vacation Mode app has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from users. Customers appreciate its ease of use, quick setup, and helpful support team. The app allows businesses to put their store on vacation mode while still allowing customers to browse without being able to place orders. Users also praise the customization options, such as adding a vacation mode message and capturing emails for notifications. The affordable price and the ability to solve common Shopify limitations, like not having a built-in vacation setting, make this app a valuable tool for online store owners. However, there were a few negative reviews mentioning issues with the app not stopping customers from checking out and a sudden change in pricing from free to a monthly fee.

I installed this to use for Maternity leave, and so far very happy! I had a small bug during install, but customer service was immediately responsive to help solve the issue! I only wish I had more control to preview the settings properly before activating, especially as a first time user. But being able to have both a pop-up window notice for visitors that they can dismiss, plus I can activate in-line notices on product descriptions while turning off checkout was great, so visitors are still able to browse while I'm away. My only other recommendation would be a full width banner that can't be dismissed if a shop owner doesn't even want people browsing during vacation mode. But this perfectly fit my needs, and very happy to have tech support when I needed it.

Glad you're set up in time for your leave. Good news. It is possible to see the pop-up in the theme editor before it goes live, and we missed that earlier, so Kyle just sent you the steps. We love your feature idea for a future release. Thank you.

Such a great app for small business owners who don't have the capability to fulfill orders while out on vacation. I've also used it to notify customers when we have maintenance or production outages on our equipment that prevents us from printing and fulfilling orders. The pop up messages look great...thanks!

AMAZING! This is a must have app for everyone that goes on vacation from time to time. No stressing about unfulfilled orders nothing! Also when you're going to sell at a market you can close the store without actually closing it, so you don't sell your one-of-a-kind product twice! I would 100% highly recommend this app! Also, if you have trouble installing it (like I did), they're more than happy to help you out!

Love this. Using vacation mode for market days so you don't double-sell one-of-a-kind products is such a smart use case. Glad we were able to help get you setup.

Solves a lot of problems in a simple and easy to use way. Easy to set up and when I hit a speed bump support was excellent. Price makes it a no brainer.
