Feature Request - Ability to mark public holidays / other specific days as closed in Square Online

Just curious as to how to accommodate change-of-hours to allow for public holidays as a one-off event, i.e. impacting just the one day?  Trying to avoid just editing the usual weekly schedule either side of the holiday, mainly as there doesn't seem to be a way 'mark the day', nor to assure customers of any closures being irregular & stand-alone, rather than them appearing as though they're ongoing and/or permanent changes...

Hey @CakesbyDrew,

 

I took a further look into this and did some digging about and it looks like this feature as silently rolled out by our eCommerce team late last week!

 

You can now set restricted dates at the location level to manage days on which you do not want to accept pickup and delivery orders. Head to your Online Overview page, select Settings > Pickup & delivery > select a location. Once here, pick a location, and you'll see Restricted dates under Hours:

 

 

Click Edit to edit your hours - then scroll down on this page to find the Restricted dates section, and click Add date to start adding restricted dates. Feel free to check the box next to Repeat every year if your business is always closed on this specific date:

 

 

Glad we could finally get this one out!

I just tried this feature, but our online store still appeared to accept pick up orders - I may have something wrongly configured elsewhere, so have just disabled pick up orders for today. Any help?

Hey @PennyDocklands,

 

Sorry to hear you had trouble with this feature!

 

I just ran a test on my account and it appears to be working as intended. I blocked out today (27th) and while I was able to still place a pickup order, the next available was tomorrow (28th).

 

The pickup orders you received were definitely for the day you blocked out, and not a later one?

I would like to throw my two cents worth for this feature also.

 

While the above is great for standard public holidays, If I am open during a holiday period on restricted trading hours I cant simply say on the 27th I am open for a smaller window, without changing the whole normal schedule.

Holiday trading hours would be great.
