Launching a collection tied to a marketing campaign or limited-time drop often means a tradeoff: prepare early  and risk products showing up too soon, or wait until the last minute and scramble to launch on time.

With Scheduled Collections, you can now set start and end dates for a collection so it is only available to shoppers during the time window you choose.

This means you can:

• Prepare in advance: Build and QA your collection days or weeks ahead of launch.
• Launch on time: The collection becomes available automatically at your scheduled start date.
• End cleanly: Limited-time collections stop being available automatically after the end date (API returns 404 Not Found).

How to Get Started

In the dashboard, navigate to Collections, then create a new collection or edit an existing one. Set your start and or end date to schedule when the Collection should be available.

Note: Updates are evaluated on a short interval, so a collection may become available up to 2 minutes after the scheduled start time.
