Rather than remembering to switch a rule on at midnight, you can schedule it. Both shipping rules and shipping customizations support scheduled activation and deactivation. This is how you run holiday pricing, a promotional free-shipping window, or a temporary surcharge without being at your desk when it starts and ends.

​
Adding a schedule

1

Save the rule first

Schedules attach to a saved rule. On a brand-new rule you’ll see “Save this rule first to add schedules” until you do.
2

Open the Schedule card

It sits in the sidebar of the rule or customization editor.
3

Add a schedule

Choose an Action — Activate or Deactivate — then set the Date and Time (hour, minute, AM/PM).
4

Save

The schedule appears in the list with a badge showing whether it will activate or deactivate.

​
Timezone

Schedules run in your store’s timezone, which is displayed at the bottom of the schedule dialog. Minutes are available in half-hour steps, so times land on the hour or half hour.

​
Limits

Each rule or customisations ccan hold up to 3 pending schedules. If you reach the limit, cancel an exising schedule before adding another. The limit counts pending schedules, so ones that have already run free up space.

​
Verifying a schedule

A schedule only proves itself when it fires, which is usually the worst moment to discover a problem.
  1. Test the rule now, by activating it manually and checking rates at checkout
  2. Deactivate it again
  3. Add the schedule
