halting website purchases for a weekend

csuter — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:51:51 GMT

Hi. I just started a website for my hand-made jewelry. Is there a way to halt purchases being made on a weekend while I am bringing my product with me to a craft fair? I thought I saw something like it somewhere but can't find it back. ?? Thanks.

Hi Csuter,

Options: You can change your items to unavailable, so your customers cannot select anything for ordering. They can still be viewed, just not purchased. Or you can can switch off Pick-up & Delivery if applicable. Or you can Unpublish your site. Perhaps some other Community Members have some suggestions.

@csuter , to put blackout dates you'll want to go to your Square online Dashboard, navigate to fulfillment, navigate to Pickup and Delivery, Scroll down and edit pickup and delivery options.

From there if you scroll all the way down there should be a restricted dates option where you can put dates you are not taking orders.

I hope this helps, I've had to put a few blackout dates when I just did not have the staff to allow for same day orders.

Good luck at the craft fair!
