Yes, Gellum Business Hours uses the timezone configured in your WordPress settings (Settings > General) to accurately determine if your store is open or closed.
Yes, you can configure unique opening and closing times for each day of the week (Monday through Sunday), or mark specific days as closed.
When the store is determined to be closed based on your configured hours:
* WooCommerce notices will inform customers on cart and checkout pages that the store is closed and when it will reopen.
* Checkout buttons will be disabled or hidden, preventing new orders.
The plugin supports overnight schedules (e.g., opening Monday 10:00 PM and closing Tuesday 2:00 AM). The logic correctly identifies these跨天 schedules.
You can use the shortcode [gellum_business_hours] in any page, post, or widget to display whether your store is currently “Open” or “Closed”, along with relevant timing information (like “Closing in XX minutes” or next opening time). The output is styled with CSS classes .gellum-business-hours-open and .gellum-business-hours-closed.
