Maintenance mode

In maintenance mode the sales channel will be invisible to visitors. However, you will be able to access it, using white listed IPs. This way you can safely work on the sales channel data (e.g. to make updates), while blocking visitors at a maintenance mode screen.

Whitelist for IP addresses

Add IP addresses to the whitelist in order to allow selective access to your shop. You may add IPv4 and IPv6 addresses as needed.

Changing the default maintenance layout

You can change the layout for maintenance pages in the basic information ("Settings" => "Shop") of your shop. In the section "Shop pages" you will find the option "Shop page layout for maintenance pages".
