Run a Friday Happy Hour Offer on Shopify
Schedule a Shopify offer by day and time, in your store's time zone, and let it switch on and off by itself. How weekly schedules work.
A weekly offer only works if it starts on time. Every Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. is easy to promise and hard to run by hand.
How it works
- Open the offer and go to the Schedule step.
- Turn on Repeat weekly.
- Pick the days, and then all day or a time window.
- Check the time zone. Daylight saving is handled.
The step shows the next window, for example "Next: Friday 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM". Outside the window the offer stays live in your list, but shoppers do not see it and it does not apply. Cart and checkout switch within about a minute of each start and end.
Good fits
- A weekend-only free gift.
- A weekday-lunch shipping offer.
- A Monday volume discount to smooth a slow day.
One thing to know. A window that runs past midnight belongs to the day it starts.
Use the Volume discount template, then switch on Repeat weekly. For how to size the discount so it does not eat the margin, read Upsell discount pricing.
