Scheduling a Sale

Create a scheduled sale

1. Open the Discount Scheduler app from your Shopify admin.
2. Click New schedule.
3. Enter a schedule name (e.g. “Black Friday 2026”).
4. Select the products or variants to discount.
5. Set the discount: either a fixed sale price or a percentage off.
6. Choose your timezone, then set the start date and time.
7. Set the end date and time (required — the schedule must have an end).
8. Click Save schedule.

The schedule is queued. ShopRail will activate it automatically at the start time.

Price revert

When the schedule ends, ShopRail restores each variant’s original price automatically. The original price is saved when the schedule activates — so even if you manually changed prices during the sale, the revert is accurate.

Caution

If you manually edit a variant’s price while a schedule is active, the manual price will be overwritten when the schedule ends and the original price is restored.

Editing a schedule

You can edit the name, products, price, and end time of a schedule at any time. You cannot edit the start time of an already-active schedule — cancel and recreate it instead.

Cancelling a schedule

To cancel a scheduled or active sale:

1. Find the schedule in the list.
2. Click Cancel schedule.
3. If the sale is already active, original prices are restored immediately.

Calendar view

The Calendar tab shows all scheduled promotions in a visual monthly view. Overlapping schedules on the same product are highlighted — ShopRail warns you if two schedules conflict.
