Prefer buttons? Pick products by hand in three steps: What goes on sale? (All products, one of your biggest collections, or Pick products…), How much off? (10%, 15%, 20%, 25% or Other) and When? (Now, for a week, This weekend or Pick dates). Then press See the prices.
Check the prices

Tips
- Until your first sale, everything else on Sales, such as Store check, Plan the month and templates, waits folded under More ways to start.
- A store with no products yet sees Add products, which opens Shopify's new product page.
- You don't need to keep the app open: start and end happen on their own.
What to check
- See it in your store: the product shows its sale price.
- When the sale ends, the note on Sales says every price is back.

Your questions
What if I change my mind after starting?
Pause puts the original prices back at once, and Resume discounts them again. Cancel puts the prices back and closes the sale.
Do I have to keep the app open while the sale runs?
No. The sale starts and ends on its own, and the prices come back at the end.
