# STORE_CLOSED

# STORE_CLOSED

The store is not accepting orders at the time of the request — either outside posted hours, manually closed by the operator, or under a temporary capacity hold.

## Summary

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Appears as | `errors[].code` |
| Response | HTTP `200` — `Order` with `isValid: false` and a populated `errors[]` |
| Retry immediately | No |

:::note[This is a reason code, not a top-level error code]
`STORE_CLOSED` is an `errors[].code` value on the order. It is **not** a top-level
`ProblemDetail.errorCode`, so it carries no HTTP status, `errorCategory`, or `retryable` field of its
own. See [Unified OrderError shape](/distribution-partners/marketfront-api/guides/order-lifecycle#unified-ordererror-shape).
:::

## When This Fires

- **`POST /v1/marketfront/orders/validate`**
- **`POST /v1/marketfront/orders/place`**

Both endpoints surface this identically. It originates with the commerce partner rather than with Gett — there is no Gett-side store-hours pre-flight, so the partner's response is the only authority, and a store can transition to closed between your validate and your place.

:::note[Not to be confused with `STORE_PAUSED`]
When **Gett** blocks an order because a store is paused on our side, that is a different code in the
other vocabulary: a top-level `STORE_PAUSED` with HTTP `409`. Handle both — they mean "this store
cannot take the order now" but arrive in different shapes.

## Recommended Action

Do not retry the same store immediately. Instead:

1. Re-call store availability (`GET /v1/marketfront/stores/{storeId}` or re-run discovery for the user's address) to confirm current open hours.
2. Surface a "closed" affordance to the user with the next-open time if available.
3. Offer alternative stores from a fresh discovery call.

A retry is only appropriate after the store's next-open time, and even then a fresh availability check should precede order submission.

## Example

```json
{
  "isValid": false,
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": "STORE_CLOSED",
      "message": "This store isn't accepting orders right now. Please try again later.",
      "pointer": null
    }
  ]
}
```
