Business Hours Indicator Pro manages schedules that vary by location or date. Pro supports unlimited locations, multiple time slots per day, and caching. Multiple slots accommodate a break between opening periods; seasonal hours cover schedules that change during particular periods.

Choose what visitors see

Display opening times in a table or inline. Combine days that share a schedule, highlight the current day, and choose a 12-hour or 24-hour time format. Set a preferred time zone and choose whether holiday and vacation hours appear in the output. Pro also includes SEO features and abbreviated day names.

Blocks and shortcodes can show a location’s hours, its current open or closed status, or content only while a business is open or closed. Four widgets provide the same core types of output in widget areas. A shortcode can specify a location with an attribute; when the attribute is omitted, the first location is used.

Set exceptions and timed messages

Add special dates with various opening times for holidays and other exceptions, along with vacation hours. For schedules that change during particular periods, set seasonal hours. Visitors can also see a countdown to the next opening or closing time. Configure how far in advance an opening-soon or closing-soon message appears.

The message builder combines dynamic codes to create messages based on the current schedule. It can show today’s hours, report that a business is closed, state when it will open again, or indicate that closing time is approaching. Include the current time or day, edit open and closed messages, and format the output with line breaks and separators.

Connect status to shop and developer processes

For WooCommerce stores, Pro can disable orders and conceal “Add to cart” buttons while the business is closed. The developer API includes calls to check whether a named location is open or closed and retrieve opening hours, special opening hours, and vacation data. CSS classes are available for styling the output to match a website.

Listed frontend translations include Dutch, German, English, Greek, Spanish, Italian, French, Bulgarian, Swedish, Danish, Slovakian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Croatian, Russian, Czech, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic, Catalan, Latvian, and Hungarian.
