Store Status

The status attribute indicates whether a store is currently open or closed according to its configured operating hours. Additional statuses account for temporary changes in order acceptance, such as Busy Mode. When a store is handling high demand, it can mark itself as busy with a delayed preparation time, or as paused when it is not accepting orders.

Status	Use	Format
`open`	The store is open and accepting orders.	string
`closed`	The store is closed at this time and not accepting orders.	string
`busy`	The store is accepting orders with a preparation delay in minutes, marked as `preparationTimeDelay`. Do not allow ASAP orders, and make the delay clear to the customer.	string
`paused`	The store is not currently accepting orders.	string

"status": "busy",
"preparationTimeDelay": 30,
