The Create Product Closure modal is accessible from the Product Closures List by clicking the Create Closure button.

 

You can create product closures from the Product Closures list or the Availability tab within the Product Builder as described here: Introduction to product closures Determining availability on products

 

Let's review each component of this modal together...

 

Name your product closure, for example, Winter Closure, Weekday Closure, and Monday Staff Training. This name can be changed once saved.

  

Select the date range for the product closure. For example...

• Winter Closure: 12/24/21 --> 01/03/22
• Weekday Closure: 11/01/21 --> 02/28/22*
• Monday Staff Training: 02/01/22 --> 02/01/22*

*Your date range selections are combined with your schedule selections to get the product closure that suits your needs. 

 

Specify the days of the week the closure applies. You can close availability for your product Everyday, Weekdays, Weekends, or according to your Custom selections, e.g. Mondays only during the select period.

 

Select the products to which the product closure applies. Your options include...

• Manually select (a) product(s) by checking the box next to the product category or individual product.
• Click the Select All button to apply the product closure to all your products.
• Click the Select None button to save the closure but not have it apply to any products.
