Campaign Center v3 — Scheduling a campaign

Setting a schedule

From the campaign detail page, click Set schedule in the Schedule card (or Edit schedule if one is already set). This opens a calendar where you can select a date range.

1. Click a start date on the calendar.
2. Click an end date — the selected range fills in between the two dates.
3. Adjust the start time and end time fields below the calendar if needed. The default is 00:00.
4. Click Save.

You can also type dates directly into the date fields beneath the calendar.

How activation and deactivation work

Campaigns activate and deactivate automatically via a background job that runs periodically. There may be a short delay — typically a few minutes — between the scheduled time and when the change appears on the storefront.

At the start time, the system:

1. Applies discounted prices to all products in the campaign
2. Activates the linked category, if category sync is configured

At the end time, the system:

1. Removes discounts and restores original prices
2. Deactivates the linked category, if applicable

Scheduling with a past start time

The system accepts past start dates. If the start time you've entered is already in the past, a warning appears in the schedule modal. The campaign will activate on the next job run after you save.

Clearing a schedule

Click Clear schedule at the bottom of the schedule modal to remove both the start and end date. The campaign returns to Draft status and won't activate until a new schedule is set.
