Scheduling

Rules can be scheduled to only be active during a specific time window. When a rule is outside its schedule it has no effect — the section behaves as if the rule doesn’t exist. Scheduling is a Pro feature — see Plans Comparison.

Setting a Schedule

When creating or editing a rule, enable Schedule and configure the window:

Option	Behaviour
Start date only	Rule is active from the start date/time onwards (no end)
End date only	Rule is active until the end date/time (no start)
Start + end date	Rule is active between the two dates (inclusive)

Times are entered and evaluated in your store’s timezone, not your browser’s — the app shows your shop’s timezone next to the date fields so what you enter is unambiguous.

Use Cases

• Show a sale banner only during a promotional period
• Hide a “coming soon” section after a product launches
• Display a seasonal offer between specific dates

Notes

• A rule with scheduling enabled but outside its active window is silently skipped — the section behaves as if no rule exists for that period.
• For time-critical logic (e.g. exact launch seconds), use Shopify’s native metafield or script editor tooling instead.
