Yes, Gellum Business Hours uses the timezone configured in your WordPress settings( Settings > General) to accurately determine if your store is open or closed. ### Can I set different hours for different days? Yes, you can configure unique opening and closing times for each day of the week( Monday through Sunday), or mark specific days as closed. ### What happens when the store is closed? When the store is determined to be closed based on your configured hours: * WooCommerce notices will inform customers on cart and checkout pages that the store is closed and when it will reopen. * Checkout buttons will be disabled or hidden, preventing new orders. ### How are overnight hours handled? The plugin supports overnight schedules (e.g., opening Monday 10:00 PM and closing Tuesday 2:00 AM). The logic correctly identifies these跨天 schedules. ### How can I display the store status on my website? You can use the shortcode `[gellum_business_hours]` in any page, post, or widget to display whether your store is currently “Open” or “Closed”, along with relevant timing information (like “Closing in XX minutes” or next opening time). The output is styled with CSS classes `.gellum-business-hours-open` and `.gellum-business-hours- closed`. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Gellum Business Hours for WooCommerce” is open source software.
