Use Active dates to run a discount for a set period, such as a holiday sale.
Set the dates
Start date and Start time are required, and default to now.
Tick Set end date to add an End date and End time. Leave it unticked to run the discount indefinitely.
Times use your store's timezone, which is shown next to the time fields.
The end must be after the start.
On the dashboard, the discount shows Scheduled until it starts and Expired after it ends.
Testing a scheduled promotion
Shopify doesn't run a discount before its start date, so you can't test a future promotion in advance. If you'd like to check it first:
Create it with Test mode on and the start date set to now.
Test it using the ABC123 first name. See Test a discount before going live.
Change the start and end dates to your promotion dates, and turn Test mode off.
Shopify's limit
Scheduled automatic discounts count toward Shopify's limit of 25 active automatic discounts. If you hit the limit, set end dates on old promotions or delete ones you no longer use.
