How can I temporarily disable online ordering for my Square Online site?

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: How do I temporarily turn off my store and all items to prevent customers ordering while on holiday.

I have a number of online store items that customers order and have either pickup or home delivery. How do switch all ordering off for a couple of weeks while I take a break but still have my website up? I want people to continue viewing the products, just not able to purchase until I return. I can post a popup to let them know I am cannot prepare orders until I am back.

Hey @rodderick, 

Thanks for your question!

To temporarily disable online ordering on your Square Online site while keeping your products visible, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to your online Square Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Sales Channels > Online > Shared Settings > Checkout.
3. Toggle off the option: Accept Online Orders.
   
   

With online ordering turned off, your items will remain visible on your site, but customers won't be able to make purchases.

I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. 😊
