Pause Vendwa

iOS 1 min read

Pause the whole shop and Vendwa stops answering. Messages still arrive and you can reply by hand.

Sometimes you want the shop quiet — a stock-take, a price change, a bad day. Pause stops the agent for the whole shop.

Pause it

  1. Open the Home tab.
  2. Find the green row that says Vendwa is selling.
  3. Tap Pause.
  4. Confirm.

The row turns amber and reads Vendwa is paused.

What still works while paused

  • Customer messages still arrive and are saved. Nothing is lost.
  • You and your team can reply by hand, chat by chat.
  • Receipts and payment confirmations still go out.

What stops

  • Vendwa does not reply to anyone.
  • Follow-up nudges waiting to go out are cancelled.

Start again

Tap Resume selling on the amber banner. Vendwa picks up from where the chats stand.

Good to know

  • Only an owner or a manager can pause or resume. Salespeople see the state, so nobody wonders why the shop went silent.
  • To quiet one chat instead of all of them, take over that chat. See Take over a chat.
