# Vacation Mode

The **Vacation Mode** allows vendors to temporarily close their store when they are unavailable. When enabled, the storefront displays a vacation notice with the vendor's custom message and blocks customer purchases.

## Enabling Vacation Mode

Vendors can schedule a vacation directly from their Vendor Dashboard.

To view current or past vacations, vendors can navigate to the Vacation section to see a sortable list of their vacations.
