Seasonal apps usually make you switch effects on and off by hand. Festivify runs itself. Pick your markets once and it dresses your store for each festival automatically, on the right dates, then clears it when the festival ends. It nails the dates others miss — movable festivals like Diwali, Lunar New Year, Easter and Eid, plus Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

- Adjust the speed and duration of the animations as well as the quantity and size
- Easily show the animations on a specific page or all the pages.

- Correct dates for Diwali, Lunar New Year, Easter and Eid
- Auto-detects Black Friday and Cyber Monday every year
