Maintenance mode for WooCommerce

Maintenance mode for the Woocommerce Shop

Matt Royal

Easily choose between redirecting users or displaying notifications with the option to disable e-commerce functionality whilst still allowing product visibility. You can set your notifications to occur site wide or only on WooCommerce pages, thus not affecting any other part of your website.
Logged in admins will not be redirected or see the notifications set in the backend, so you can continue working, testing and managing your store seemllessly without your users ever being aware you are working on it and without it interfearing with your work flow.
For Premium Users:
You can set an end date that will automatically disable redirects or notications to resume your store to its normal view, just in case you forget. You can also enjoy the flexibility of being able to adjust the frequency at which to display your store notifications or redirects to your users.
You will also be able to create your custom messages with a WYSIWYG editor(just like on a page or post), making use of lightbox popup modals and be able to use any shortcodes including some bundled with the premium version for your convenience.
Requires WordPress 3.0 + and WooCommerce 2.0 +.

WooCommerce Maintenance Mode (Free)

Unique in that it disables only e-commerce activities rather than taking an entire site offline. One of many basic features you'd think would get built directly into WooCommerce. 

Anyway, the plugin does work, but it can be a little fickle to test. Incognito mode and on a staging server is more reliable than the built-in preview modes on a live and well-cached server.

It good enough I'm going to spring for the very inexpensive pro version and gain popup support.
