Market Day Mode

For Shopify stores that sell in person

Never sell the same steak twice.

Market Day Mode pauses online purchasing for chosen collections while you're selling at the farmers market — and turns everything back on when you pack up.

Free while in early access. Installs in under a minute.

Downtown Farmers Market

Saturdays · 4:00 – 7:00 PM

12 products paused

Built for market day

Recurring & one-off windows

Every Saturday 4–7pm, plus special market days and holiday pop-ups. Each schedule runs in your store's own time zone.

Visible, not buyable

Shoppers still see your products — but the buy button is replaced with “Selling at the market right now”, named after your event.

Restores itself

When the window ends, every product's original sell-out behavior is restored automatically. No oversells, no manual cleanup.

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect your store

    Install with your myshopify.com domain. We request only the product and inventory permissions needed.

  2. 02

    Pick a collection & hours

    Choose the collection you sell in person and set the market window — weekly, or a one-off date.

  3. 03

    Sell at the market

    At opening time, those products become unbuyable online with a friendly notice. Closing time flips them back.

Setting up takes about five minutes

After you install Market Day Mode, here's everything you need to do to be market-ready:

  1. 1

    Turn on the storefront notice

    In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize, open App embeds, and switch on “Market Day Mode”, then save. This is a one-time step — Shopify requires you to approve theme changes yourself, so apps can't flip this on for you.

  2. 2

    Create your first market window

    From the Market Day Mode dashboard, pick the collection you sell in person, give your market a name, and set the day and hours — every week, or a one-off market date. Everything runs in your store's own time zone.

  3. 3

    Let it run

    At opening time those products stop being buyable online and shoppers see a friendly “at the market” notice with a countdown. When the window closes, they go back on sale by themselves — no cleanup, no oversells.

Need the notice somewhere specific? You can also drag the Market Day Mode notice block onto your product page in the theme editor to choose exactly where it appears.
