You can take your store offline whenever you need to perform maintenance on your site. In Maintenance Mode, your customers see a temporary page until you return to production mode (when your store is live). You can also create a custom page for your customers to see during maintenance. For more information on creating pages with our Classic Design Tools, see our Pages tutorial section.
To enable Maintenance Mode, go to Advanced > Maintenance Mode from your control panel.
Maintenance Mode Options
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Maintenance Mode | Set to No by default. Set to Yes to take your store offline for maintenance mode.
Important: Be sure to enter at least one IP address into the Whitelist box before you enable maintenance mode. If you do not have an IP white-listed, you will not be able to log in to your store to work on it, or to turn off maintenance mode and return to your "live" mode. |
| Allowed IPs | In the Allowed IPs field, enter the IP addresses that you want to allow or "white-list," that is, to exempt from being redirected to the maintenance mode page.
To continue to have access to your store while you are working on it, copy your IP address and paste it into this box. You can enter more than one IP address, separated by commas, if you want other IP addresses to have access to your store while it is in maintenance mode. You can find your IP address by visiting whatismyip.com |
| Maintenance Page | Select a page to display to your customers while your store is offline in maintenance mode. The default page Maintenance can be edited in Design > Other Pages > Edit Pages |
