What is Shabbat? The bible says it took God 6 days to create the earth, and that on the seventh day he rested. That day of rest is Shabbat, or Shabbos if you speak Yiddish.
Shabbat starts at sundown on Friday night, and ends after sunset on Saturday night. In the Jewish community, shabbat is declared a day of rest, contemplation, thought, and prayer.
The Reform Jewish community sees Shabbat as a time of rest & family.
The Orthodox Jews have many strict rules which specify which activities are permitted on Shabbat, and which are not. Specifically, farming, sewing, cooking, and lighting fires are prohibited. Those rules were created centuries ago, but are now interpreted to include electricity and telephones. These rules also prohibit driving on shabbat.
As a vendor, you should respect your Jewish client's desires regarding Shabbat, and not expect phone calls or emails on Shabbat.
