Disable ordering during non-business hours

[amazing2061]

I’m using WP eStore for a restaurant and was wondering if anyone has an automated solution that can disable the order taking capability of the store during non-business hours? Simple put I don’t want customers to submit a food order when the restaurant is closed. Thank you.

1. You could use a so-called “Site Maintenance” plugin to temporarily enable/disable access to your site.

    

2. You must enable/disable the site access manually

 

Depending upon your technical prowess, there is something you could try… I know of one local “Hackerspace” that uses an Arduino controller tied to the building’s alarm system. The “Open/Closed” sign in the upper left corner of their website is synced to the alarm sensor on the front door: [http://032.la/]

We could create an extension for you that would disable access to your shop page between the hours your select.

That would be great! I’m sure there are others who could use it. How long will it take? Thanks.

Greetings Admin! Is there any progress regarding the new extension that would disable access to shop page between select hours? Thanks

We are investigating this. Hopefully, we will have something in a few days time.

The development of this is nearly complete. We should be able to give you something shortly.
