See every featureSchedule price, stock, visibility and Online Store theme changes on any Shopify plan. Publish an existing unpublished theme at a set time, then restore the previous live theme at the end — with smart rollback if you published another theme yourself. Preview every change before it goes live.
PriceGuardHQ never writes a price below cost or below a floor you set, shows every change before it is written, and ends a sale by itself. Rules by collection, tag, vendor, type, SKUs or whole store: percent or amount off or on, a fixed price, cost plus margin, a sale from compare-at; .99 rounding. Guardrails stop a run that moves a price too far or changes too much.
- Schedule sales and discounts across your whole catalog without Shopify Plus.
- Preview every change before go-live and see affected variants and new amounts.
- Smart rollback restores original amounts automatically when promotions end.
- Target products, collections, tags, vendors, or variants in one schedule.
- Floors: never below cost, and never below a price you set
- Preview every price and compare-at change; every write is read back and verified
- A sale ends on schedule and keeps the edits you made during it, and says so
