Placing publish date

How to set a publishing date on a product. This lets you easily prepare assortments of products for sale.

Key features

  • Set a future publish date so a product goes live automatically
  • Prepare assortments without manually activating each product
  • See publish status in the product list

Quick guide

  1. Open the product and check it as active.
  2. Click Set specific publication date and pick a date.
  3. Click Save.

Adding a publish date makes a product visible in your store from 00:01 on that day. This lets you prepare assortments for sale without manually activating each product, for example when releasing new collections.

  1. Open the product you want to publish and check it as active.
  2. Click Set specific publication date and use the date picker to choose when the product becomes visible and purchasable.
  3. Click Save.

For the product to be visible, make sure all publication requirements are met. If you have specific Publication requirements configured, they may affect your publishing process.

Set a publish date on an already active product

If you click Save on a product with Active checked, you can no longer set a date on it, active products count as products you want visible and for sale. To set a later date, inactivate the product, save, and then set the date.
