How to edit your maintenance message

If you need to put your store on vacation mode or pause it for a time, you may do so under "Settings" --> "Store Status" here.

If you want to leave a custom message on your store instead, please follow the below instructions. For tips on what information to leave, go here.

1. Go to your Admin Panel and the 'Storefront' tab.
2. Click 'HTML Pages' then select the 'Maintenance' page.
3. Click on 'Use Custom HTML'.

If you are using the Cooper theme (if you manually upgraded or if you created your store after July 22nd 2013):

1. Find the part that looks like this:

   <h2>Store under construction</h2>
       <p>Site will be back online shortly. Check back soon!<br/> ​Contact us: <a href="mailto:{{ store.email }}">{{ store.email }}</a></p>​​
2. Change the text between the <h2> </h2> tags, that will be your title. Or you can just delete that section if you prefer not to have a title.
3. Change the text between the <p> </p> tags to whatever message you want to leave. The section <a href="mailto:{{ store.email }}">{{ store.email }}</a> provides your store's customer support email address and a link to contact you so you probably want to leave that in.

Here are a few examples:

<h2>We're away on vacation</h2>
    <p>We'll be back in a week, in the meantime contact us at 
<a href="mailto:{{ store.email }}">{{ store.email }}</a></p>​​

<p>We're redesigning our store right now, check back soon!
​<a href="mailto:{{ store.email }}">{{ store.email }}</a></p>​​

If you are using the original default theme (stores created before July 22nd 2013):

1. Find the part that looks like this:
       <div class="message">
         <h1>{{ store.name }} is currently under maintenance.</h1>
         <p>Why not <a href="http://www.storenvy.com/stores">browse</a> some of the other great Storenvy stores?</p>
         <p>&nbsp;</p>
         <p>Is this your store? <a href="http://www.storenvy.com/login?return={{ store.subdomain_host }}">Log in.</a></p>
       </div>
2. Change the section in the middle to say whatever you want it to. As long as the <div class="message"> and </div> tags sandwich your message, it should work fine. Here are a couple of examples:
   
       <div class="message">
         <h1>{{ store.name }} is currently on vacation.</h1>
         <p>We'll be away from June 1st until June 6th. If you have a problem, email us at store@gmail.com and we'll do our best to answer all queries as soon as we get back.</p>
       </div>
   
       <div class="message">
         Sorry I've had to close this shop temporarily for a health issue but I'm hoping to be back within 2 weeks.
       </div>
