Online orders follow your real opening hours, holidays and closures.
Set weekly hours with split and overnight shifts, add holidays that repeat every year, special hours for single dates and temporary closures. Checkout and WhatsApp stop taking orders when you are closed.
Can GECA stop online orders when my store is closed?
Yes. Every order is checked against your working hours at the moment it is placed. You set regular hours for each day with one or more shifts, including shifts that run past midnight. Holidays can repeat every year, special dates can have their own hours, and temporary closures cover a range of days with a reason. Outside those hours the order is refused with a clear message, unless you choose to allow orders while closed.

The problem this solves.
Orders at 3am cause problems
An order placed while you are closed either gets missed or has to be cancelled in the morning.
Hours change through the year
Eid, Ramadan, public holidays and renovations all change when you are open.
Late-night businesses are complicated
A shift from 6pm to 2am crosses midnight, and many systems get that wrong.
