Webstore Maintenance Settings
Navigate: System Settings > Global Settings > Maintainace
A new feature has been introduced that allows administrators to manage the webstore’s operational status. With this configuration, administrators can easily toggle the webstore between "Live” and “Under Maintenance” modes whenever needed.
- Setting the Flag to "Yes" initiates store maintenance for all stores and redirects all webstore users to the maintenance page.
- Setting the Flag to "No" keeps all stores live, and webstore users can proceed with normal operations.
Important Notes
- The system prioritizes the global maintenance flag over the store-level setting. If the “Enable Maintenance for All Stores” flag under System Settings > Global Settings > Maintenance is set to "Yes", all stores will enter maintenance mode, regardless of the individual store-level setting “Webstore Under Maintenance” found under Stores > Stores > Manage Store > Additional Attributes > Maintenance Mode.
- If the global “Enable Maintenance for All Stores” flag is set to "No", the system will refer to the store-level “Webstore Under Maintenance” setting and apply maintenance mode based on its value. That is, if it is set to “Yes”, that particular store goes under maintenance. And if it is set to “No”, the store will be live and accessible for all the webstore users.
- As soon as the “Webstore Under Maintenance” attribute/flag is set to “Yes”, it results in a 503 Service Unavailable error, and all users (Guest and Registered) will be redirected to the maintenance page, regardless of what page they were on.
- When a new store is created, the “Store Mode” column remains blank until the store is published.
