Mark your store as busy without closing it. Customers see a notice that ordering is not available for now, and they can come back later to place their orders.
You can do this in two ways: from the Orders tab, or from the Business Locations tab.
Busy mode is recommended instead of unpublishing the store. Your business stays visible, and customers know to come back later.
