How to repeat Shopify section schedules and exclude holiday dates
ePlugin ·
Add a daily, weekly or monthly schedule to Shopify content. Choose the time window and relevant weekdays or month days, then use excluded dates or store-wide blackout dates for exceptions. Check the store timezone and schedule matching mode.
The merchant problem
Repeating weekend promotions or business-hour announcements manually creates recurring operational work. A recurring schedule can reuse the same prepared section, while date exceptions prevent the usual message from appearing during closures or special events.
How to do it with Visi
- Enable Visi Widgets, choose content.
- Choose recurring daily, weekly or monthly and set the desired time window.
- For weekly schedules select weekdays; for monthly schedules select calendar days.
- Add per-content excluded dates or store-wide blackout dates for scheduled-content exceptions.
- Review all/any schedule matching and test a matching day, a nonmatching day and an excluded date.
Specific storefront use cases
Daily, weekly and monthly Shopify content schedules
Use daily schedules for business-hour announcements, weekly schedules for weekend offers and monthly schedules for payday campaigns. Reuse the same section across recurring promotions.
Excluded dates and store-wide blackout dates
Pause a recurring banner on selected holiday dates with per-content exclusions. Use store-wide blackout dates to pause scheduled campaigns together during a special event.
Questions merchants ask
Can I show a Shopify banner every weekend automatically?
Use a recurring weekly schedule, select the weekend days and time window, and test the banner in your theme. Add excluded dates for exceptions.
Can I hide scheduled Shopify content on specific holiday dates?
Yes. Visi supports excluded dates for individual scheduled content and store-wide blackout dates. Check the store timezone and test both an ordinary matching date and the excluded date.
Example setup
Show a prepared weekend banner on selected weekend days during the configured time window. Exclude a holiday date when the usual offer should pause.
