Need to implement some necessary changes to your store and do not want your customers to see this at the same time, then Prestashop Maintenance Mode can be your best bet. With this module, you can add a customizable maintenance page to your store displaying a message to the customers that your store is currently under construction and will be activated soon. As Google crawls the site time to time, adding an under construction page while updating your store won’t let your search engine rankings fall.

- Enable/disable the display of countdown timer on the maintenance page.
- Set the time after which shop gets activated.
- Enable/disable the display of countdown timer as ‘0’ even if the time lapses and
- Select the layout of countdown timer.

Front End View
Once admin has configured the text, set the page layout, and countdown timer for the maintenance page and then enabled the maintenance mode then a coming soon message will be displayed to the customers on the front end.
