How to View My Shop in Maintenance Mode

It is possible to put your shop into maintenance mode by going to: Back Office > Preferences > tick 'No' for Enable Shop. When in maintenance mode you may make changes to your shop without disrupting your customers' experience. When your changes are done, you can re-enable your shop by changing your Preferences.

 

In maintenance mode, a holding page is displayed to all users expect those on the IP addresses configured in the PrestaShop Back Office. In this way, it is possible for you to make changes to your shop and view those changes on the front end before they are available to your customers:
Get your IP address from http://www.whatsmyip.org/
Go to Back Office > Preferences and enter your IP in the Maintenance IP field
Click Save

Note: Your IP address may change periodically; if you cannot access your front end in maintenance mode, update the Maintenance IP in the Back Office as described above.
