Announcement reposted from Amazon Europe:
If you’re taking time off over the festive season, or planning to work on public holidays, we recommend these simple steps to protect your Fulfilled by Merchant order performance metrics.
Set up holiday mode
Set your account to holiday mode to avoid missing orders that could affect your performance. This setting temporarily removes your Fulfilled by Merchant listings from Amazon product detail pages and search results.
To set up holiday mode, go to the Shop status and holiday settings page.
For more information, go to Listing status for holidays and other absences.
Manage your holiday settings
If you plan to send Fulfilled by Merchant orders on public holidays, go to the Holidays widget in Seller Central to override predefined holidays and change them to an “operating day”.
To override a public holiday, go to the Holidays page.
Note: Allow up to four hours for any change in holiday settings change to be reflected in your delivery promise and orders received.
For more information, including how to revert operating days to holidays, go to Manage holiday settings.
