Schedule peak-hour premiums, weekend discounts, and flash windows. Stop logging into Shopify every Friday — automate when prices change and when they revert.

Time-Based Pricing: Flash Sales & Weekend Deals Without Manual Updates

Timed promotions drive urgency, but manually changing prices for every sale window does not scale. Time-based pricing lets you define schedules once: day of week, hour ranges, or recurring patterns — and let automation handle the rest.

Common use cases

  • Weekend sales: Automatic discounts from Friday evening through Sunday night.
  • Peak vs off-peak: Higher prices during high-demand hours, lower when traffic is quiet.
  • Flash windows: Short bursts of promotional pricing that start and end on time, every time.

Why automation matters

Manual updates invite mistakes: forgotten reversals, wrong SKUs, or checkout prices that do not match the storefront. Rules-based time pricing keeps storefront and checkout aligned and removes the need for repeated admin work.
