Vacation Mode: How it Works

Vacation Mode allows you to put your Forkeeps' closet on hold so buyers won't be able to purchase your items for sale. 

As a seller you can use Vacation Mode when: 

1. You're temporarily unable to run your shop.
2. An emergency keeps you from being able to manage your shop. 
3. You're travelling or unwell. 
4. You simply need a quick break to catch up on orders.

What happens when you activate Vacation Mode

When your closet is on Vacation Mode buyers are not able to add your items to their bag. If they have already added an item to their bag before you were on vacation mode they won’t be able to purchase them as the checkout button will be unavailable. A banner will be visible to the buyer informing them that the seller is on vacation.

Important things to know: 

1. Your closet will still appear if someone searches for your closet name. 
2. Your items will still appear in search. 
3. Other Forkeeps members who visit your closet can still like your items. 
4. You’ll continue to have access to your orders and messages. 
5. You’ll still be able to view previous orders and print shipping labels. 
6. You can make edits to current listings, list new items or save to drafts as usual.

When your closet is in Vacation Mode, you still need to uphold your commitments as a seller to your buyers. It is required that sellers continue fulfilling sold orders.
