Step by step
Look at Coming up
On Sales, Coming up shows the next few holidays and shopping days for your country, each with Plan sale.
Open the Sales calendar
The Calendar tab lists holidays and shopping days for the next 12 months. Country starts on your store's country; Show filters by shopping events, holidays, gift-giving days or observances.
Press Plan sale
It opens a new sale with that event's dates and suggested discount filled in. A note shows when one of your sales already covers those days.
Or start from a template
Template cards on Sales include Black Friday (Friday to Sunday), Cyber Monday, Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, Summer sale, Clearance and Weekend −15%, nearest first.
A drawing of the app's screen, with its real labels. Pick products and schedule
The template fills in the name, discount and dates with a hint about which products to pick. Check the preview and click Schedule sale.
Save your own template
In the sale form, Save as template keeps the name, discount, length, rounding and display options, and the product group if you chose one, as a card marked Mine.
Tips
- From 30 days before Black Friday, a banner on New sale counts the days and opens the Black Friday or Cyber Monday template.
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday templates are made so both can run one after the other.
- Don't want holidays on Sales? Turn them off in Settings → Promotions → Holidays and shopping events; the calendar stays.
What to check
- The dates are in your store's timezone, or the one picked in Settings.
- The Clearance template already selects products with 20 or more units in stock.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a template to keep products picked one by one: it keeps a product group, not single products.
- Lining up several holiday sales on Free: Free allows one sale at a time, scheduled ones included.
The plan you need
On the Free planEvery plan. Several sales scheduled at once need Pro or Business. Up to 12 saved templates.
