Scheduling Discounts
The Schedule tab in the wizard lets you control when a discount is active. By default, discounts run indefinitely once published — scheduling lets you automate start and end times.
Schedule options
Section titled “Schedule options”| Option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Always on (default) | Active from the moment it’s published until you disable it |
| Start date | Becomes active at a specific date and time |
| End date | Automatically deactivates at a specific date and time |
| Both | Active only during the window between start and end dates |
Common use cases
Section titled “Common use cases”Flash sales
Section titled “Flash sales”Set a start and end date for a 24-hour or weekend sale. The discount activates and deactivates automatically — no need to be at your computer at midnight.
Seasonal promotions
Section titled “Seasonal promotions”Schedule a Black Friday deal weeks in advance. Create the discount, set the dates, save as draft, and publish whenever you’re ready. The discount won’t activate until the start date, even if published early.
Recurring promotions
Section titled “Recurring promotions”For promotions that repeat (e.g., “10% off every Monday”), you would create the discount and manually toggle it. Automated recurring schedules are not yet supported but are on the roadmap.
Timezone
Section titled “Timezone”Scheduled times use your WordPress timezone setting (Settings → General → Timezone). Make sure this is set correctly for your business location.
