Get the “Verified Shabbat-aware” badge
Publish one small file on your domain and Shabbat-aware shoppers will see — automatically — that your site respects Shabbat. It is an open standard, it is free, and you stay in full control of what it says.
- One open-standard file, no platform lock-in
- Read automatically by the extension and tools
- Build trust with observant customers
- Transparency — not a halachic ruling
How it works
From publishing a file to a visible badge — the whole standard is intentionally tiny so any business can adopt it.
Publish your policy file
Add a small JSON file at /.well-known/shabbat-policy.json on your domain, describing whether and how your business pauses on Shabbat.
Read the open standardShabbatCloud customers get this file generated and kept up to date automatically.
The tools read it
The ShabbatCloud browser extension and supporting tools fetch the file and understand your declared Shabbat behavior — no integration or account required on your side.
Shoppers see “Verified Shabbat-aware”
When a Shabbat-aware shopper visits your site, they see a clear signal that you have published a Shabbat policy — building trust before they ever reach checkout.
A minimal shabbat-policy.json
Drop this at /.well-known/shabbat-policy.json on your domain. The full standard documents every optional field.
/.well-known/shabbat-policy.json{
"version": "1.0",
"shabbatAware": true,
"behavior": "checkout-paused",
"statement": "We pause online orders from Friday sunset to Saturday nightfall and release them after Shabbat."
}Trust, stated plainly
Verified Shabbat-awareEarn trust with observant customers
Many shoppers prefer to buy from businesses that respect Shabbat. A published policy lets them recognize you at a glance.
Transparency you control
You write the statement. The file simply makes your own words machine-readable — nothing is inferred or added on your behalf.
Not a halachic ruling
Verification only reflects what you declare. It is a transparency signal, not an endorsement or a halachic determination of any kind.
Important: This section is educational and operational. ShabbatCloud.com does not provide halachic rulings. Customers should consult their rabbinic or halachic advisor for their specific policy.
