As of April 2026, Close Up Shop is a WordPress shop plugin with 0 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 431 times in total. Requires WordPress 5.0+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2025. Top alternative: WooCommerce.
Close Up Shop lets WooCommerce store‑owners define any number of closure periods (for holidays, inventory counts, vacations, etc.). While the shop is closed, all store‑related pages (shop, product, cart, checkout, account) redirect to a dedicated Shop Closed page that displays your custom message and the exact date & time the shop will reopen.
Version 1.4 introduces a real‑time [closeupshop_reopen_time] shortcode that is evaluated whenever the page is viewed, so the reopening information is never stale, even if you change the schedule later.
Key Features
Creates a Shop Closed page automatically on activation.
Intuitive admin screen under Settings → Close Up Shop to add, remove, and reorder unlimited closure periods.
One‑click Add / Remove rows (JavaScript enhanced, no page refresh).
