Hi @cbrown218 , I am Garcia from PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder App. To notify your customers about a store closure or break, you can use various methods on Shopify.
1. Using Email Marketing
If you have an email marketing app installed, such as “Klaviyo” or “Mailchimp,” you can create a campaign to inform your customers about the closure.
2. Turn on store password and create a password page
You can try creating a password page by Shopify or page builder including any important details, such as order deadlines or alternative contact information if needed.
3. Using Announcement Bar
Install a free announcement bar app from the Shopify App Store, such as “Announcement Bar + Web Push” or “Quick Announcement Bar.” or just check your theme if it supports.
Also, provide clear information about the closure dates, any order deadlines, and alternative methods of contact if necessary is important. By using these methods, you can effectively communicate with your customers and manage their expectations during the store closure or break.
