OpenCart 2 Maintenance

Updated on Sep 8, 2016

OpenCart provides you with the ability to set your store under maintenance. While having this mode activated, visitors will not be able to browser your product catalog or submit new orders. Only you as logged administrator will be able to access the full version of your website. This is a perfect solution if you plan to perform updates, perform changes on your website or update your catalog.

To activate the OpenCart 2 Maintenance mode, please login your OpenCat admin panel and refer to the System>Settings section via the menu on the left.
