See every featureSchedulify helps merchants plan and automate store changes for flash sales, launches, and seasonal events. Create an event once, choose what should change, and Schedulify automatically updates your theme, products, metafields, prices, discounts, product tags, pages, blog articles, metaobjects, and storefront content at the scheduled start and end times.
Some products should stop showing on a set date: seasonal items, limited-time drops, flash sales, event products, and food past its best-before date. Removing them by hand is easy to forget. Metafield Expiry schedules it for you: add a date or date-time metafield to a product, choose to unpublish, set to draft, or archive, and the app checks hourly and acts when the date passes.
- Schedule a theme to publish and switch back automatically after the event.
- Set products to Active, Draft, or Archived for the event in one place.
- Activate selected discounts for the event and restore their status after.
- Auto-unpublish (Online Store) or draft/archive when metafield date/time passes
- Use existing metafields set via Bulk Editor, CSV import, or other tools
- No Shopify Flow workflow required
- View an activity log of products updated by the app
