B&H always keep the website open, regardless of if it’s for Shabbat, or for any of the other Jewish Holy days.

What they do do is block all forms of ordering during Shabbat etc. but they make it clear you’re welcome to browse and (iirc) add items to your cart.

I presume they loose a fair bit sales. It will be interesting to see any data on what happens to the customers who try to buy something on a Sunday and realize they can't. Do they return another day or purchase somewhere else.

They return another day. B&H is a huge store with loyal customers, and they're often the best place to buy specific equipment.
