See every featureSome 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.
Event Scheduler lets you plan store changes ahead of time so they happen automatically. Instead of staying up late to launch a sale, set the date and time and the app handles it. Create a plan, add actions like changing prices, enabling discounts, updating inventory, or toggling theme sections, then schedule it. Every action runs at once when the time comes. Every action saves a snapshot of the original state.
