Controlling online order acceptance
You can enable and disable the ability to accept online orders at a site in the case of an emergency or when the store is too busy to accept online orders at the time. Controlling online order acceptance in the Digital Ordering portal and the Emergency Close function in Web Admin are synchronous, meaning if you set it in the portal, it automatically changes in Web Admin.
When consumers attempt to place an order, they receive the 'Not Accepting Orders' message and they can select a different location or schedule their order at another time.
