With Shopify alone
Shopify can schedule discount codes and automatic discounts: they have a start and an end date and apply at checkout. Product prices themselves don't change, so shoppers don't see the sale until checkout.
To show sale prices on product pages you change the prices, and Shopify has no schedule for that outside Shopify Plus. Someone has to change them at the start and change them back at the end.
Step by step with Market Manager
- Install Market Manager and create a sale.
- Pick the products, a collection or the catalog, and set the discount.
- Set the start and the end. A start in the past starts the sale at once.
- Check the preview and click Schedule sale. Within a minute of the start the sale is active; at the end, every price comes back.
What Market Manager does
- Changes product prices at the start and restores them at the end
- Uses your store's time zone
- Shows each new price before you schedule
- Sales calendar link for Google, Apple or Outlook on Pro
What it doesn't
- A sale changes prices; for a code shoppers type at checkout, Shopify's own discount codes are the tool.
- One sale at a time on the Free plan.

Your questions
Do I have to be online when the sale starts?
No. The sale starts and ends on schedule while you're away.
Can I change a scheduled sale?
Yes. Edit it before it starts, or cancel it to put every price back.
