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...

Very easy to use and they do the setup for you!

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.

Great app, perfect for my needs. Had issues installing it, I emailed the support team and they configured it for me in no time. Highly recommended
— Blue Planet Labels
What a fantastic app. I was nervous about setting this up as I’m not very techy but Kyle handled the full thing, start to finish for me. He was quick and very helpful and guided me through it after, if I need to make any changes. A very affordable price too. Would definitely recommend! Thank you.

A useful little app, for a very fair price. Support was quick to answer my questions, and helped integrating the sign-up form into our product template when it didn't work out of the box (probably an issue on our side due to a very old theme).

Great support and really useful.

Gerade gekauft. Eingerichtet, Regel erstellt und läuft ohne Probleme. Ich würde es noch cool finden, wenn man das Popup Fenster (Banner unten rechts) auch via Einstellung, mittig einblenden lassen könnte. Update: in den Settings gibt es die Option dazu, wunderbar.

What an excellent app, this is by far the easiest to close your store while you are away, I had an issue with overlay and contacted support via email, in less then 24 hours Jeff from Magical Apps sorted it out.
— Gadget Surgery
Absolute breath of fresh air! Great app, does what it says, easy to use and just perfect. Also if you do need support, or have any questions the response time is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much

I asked for help with my theme, and within 12 hours, the team got me up and running. Amazing customer service. Thank you.
— Big Sky Life Books
Waste of money. App did not stop customers from using cart to checkout.
— Bear Country Cottons
Doesn’t work, no FAQ’s with troubleshooting tips. Emailed support, quick to respond but could not offer a resolution until Monday.
— Punch Watch Design
Not so great: The app was free. I got on vacation with magical vacation mode. In the middle of my vacation in August the App was deactivated because now it’s $5 per month.
— Bart Verlag
This company is so easy to work with. they set it up for me soI can relax on vacation. Thank you so much for all you do!
— Mantra Skincare
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...

Customer service is 5* Excellent pricing and superior support! What more could you ask for. Well Done!

While scouring the internet trying to find a good solution for going away for a few days, I learned about Magical Vacation Mode in the Shopify Forums. I certainly am glad that I gave it a try. The app did exactly what I needed it to...let my visitors know that they can look at my items but not purchase until my return. There was also an option for them to request a notification when I reopened....
— Duckwells
This is exactly what we needed! It allows customers to still browse the store without being able to place an order. I like that the messaging pops up with an email capture, too.
