Brand Name Lighting review for Magical Vacation Mode

April 3, 2025

We need to put our store “Brand Name Lighting” on hold a few times a year. Only for a very short time when we are testing inventory feeds, etc. Shopify gives you two options: 1) Password protect. Not good, as we will loose all the SEO we worked so hard to get and current customers won’t be able to login. 2) Change plan to “Pause and Build”. Problem is that this option did not allow us to put the store on hold right away, only when our current plan expires (almost in a month). Customer support was very good, opening a ticket with the billing department, etc. But we can’t have this hassle every time we need to put our Shopify store on vacation mode. This app was the right solution! Installed in seconds, the owner has video tutorials in the setup section giving you step by step instructions! So easy! Removes the checkout icon from the top of the page and removes the “add to cart” buttons. You can customize everything! Including adding a “vacation mode” custom image, all the text and colors. Very happy with this app! If you need LED lighting and electrical supplies, you go to Brand Name Lighting (https://brandnamelighting.com/). If you need a very good “Vacation” app that works without bugs, you go to Magical Vacation Mode.
