How to Turn Off Online Ordering

Online ordering can be disabled when a branch is temporarily unable to accept orders — for operational issues, temporary closures, maintenance, staffing shortages, or planned downtime.

Before You Begin

  • You must be logged into the Facilipay Dashboard with admin access.
  • Decide how long online ordering should remain disabled before you start.

Step-by-Step: Disable Online Ordering

  • Access Branch Settings
    From your Facilipay Dashboard, open the left-hand menu and select My Business. From the dropdown menu, click Branches. The list of available branches will display.

What Happens After You Save

Online ordering is disabled for the selected branch and remains unavailable based on the option you selected. Customers visiting your online ordering page will see a notice that orders are currently unavailable.


Tips & Best Practices

  • Communicate with customers: If the closure is planned, post a notice on social media or email regular customers.

  • Set a reminder to re-enable: If you select a temporary disable, set a reminder so you don't forget to turn it back on.
