Open the “Maintenance” menu, “Maintenance mode” tab.
What your visitors see
During maintenance, your online shop is no longer open to the public: only an administrator can get in. You can display a custom message, with text and an image, in each language: “Edit the maintenance message”.
Reopening the shop
To leave maintenance mode, every start-up step must be completed, and at least one payment method and one delivery method must be configured in production.
Good to know
- Your test site always requires you to log in: it is never public;
- for design or catalogue changes, maintenance mode is not needed: work on the test site, then publish.
