Edit the default Vacation Message, or it only half-works

  • What this proposes to do, should be fairly straightforward. Unfortunately, the setup page is non-sensical. What is the “Button Text” for? What is the “Button URL” for? Why are those there? There’s no explanation.

    Also, the shortcode that you can supposedly add to any page, sounds like a great idea. If it worked, it would be an even better idea.

    I’ve already had multiple customers asking me why they can’t order my products, because there’s no message on the Shop page, and no message on any of the product pages.

    I’d have been better off just letting people order, sending them a message saying, “I’m out for a week, sorry for the delay while I enjoy holding your money!”

    Edit: I finally got it to work. The boilerplate text that’s in the “Vacation Notice” edit box isn’t actually usable, as is. You HAVE to edit it, even if those words are exactly what you want to say. If you leave that default text untouched, even though it looks like it’s been edited, the plugin doesn’t display any message, or even an empty box (which would have been a clue that I needed to add text). The “Button Text” and “Button URL” apply to the button that appears within the vacation message box, IF you add some vacation text.

    Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback regarding your experience with Woo Store Vacation. We apologize for any confusion that may have arisen from the missing description and unclear placeholder for the notice input field.

    We would like to take this opportunity to clarify that the button text and URL are intended to be used as a call to action button to navigate users to a page such as a contact page. However, we understand that this may not have been clear from the outset and will certainly take this into consideration for future improvements.

    Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that the vacation notice can be displayed on all WooCommerce pages during vacation time. Additionally, you have the option to add the notice to any page of your choice using the [woo_store_vacation] shortcode or the Store Vacation Notice block.

    It is also possible to allow users to place new orders while displaying the notice on your pages by simply unchecking the Disable Purchase checkbox.

    We hope that this clarifies any confusion and would like to extend our apologies for any inconvenience that may have been caused. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give Woo Store Vacation another chance in the future.
