The season calendar is built into PopAutomate too: it reminds you before each season, you start a schedule from a ready template, and your prices go back to normal after the last day.
How we work out the season dates
This calendar covers the shopping seasons in Saudi Arabia, so it is most useful if you sell to customers there.
- Fixed dates every year: Founding Day on 22 February, Flag Day on 11 March, Saudi National Day on 23 September, and 11.11 offers on 11 November.
- White Friday: the Saudi and Gulf name for Black Friday, the last Friday of November. In 2026 it falls on Friday, 27 November 2026. Most stores stretch the offer over several days around it.
- Islamic (Hijri) seasons: Ramadan, the last 10 days of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, the Day of Arafah, Eid al-Adha and the Islamic New Year follow the Umm al-Qura calendar. They are expected dates, confirmed by the moon sighting, and can move by a day.
- Market seasons: back to school and end-of-season sales are the usual market windows; each store picks its own days.
The countdown counts days in Saudi time to the first day of each season, and for White Friday to the Friday itself. The same dates are in the season calendar inside PopAutomate.
When to start preparing for each season
We suggest you start two weeks before each season: pick the products, work out the prices, apply for the discount permit, and schedule the offer. The suggested discount comes from PopAutomate's templates; treat it as a starting point, not a rule.
| Season | Dates | Start preparing | Suggested discount | Discount permit |

In Saudi Arabia, any discount needs a permit from the Ministry of Commerce before it is announced. In past years the ministry has announced seasonal permits for Founding Day, National Day and the Ramadan season through Eid al-Fitr, and these don't count against your yearly discount allowance. Check the current rules on the Ministry of Commerce website, and read the Saudi discount permit guide.

Frequently asked questions
When is White Friday 2026 in Saudi Arabia?
White Friday is the name Saudi and Gulf stores use for Black Friday: the last Friday of November, which falls on Friday, 27 November 2026. Most stores run their offers over several days around it. PopAutomate's calendar suggests Saturday, 21 November 2026 to Monday, 30 November 2026, and each store picks its own days.
When does Ramadan 1448 start?
Based on the Umm al-Qura calendar, Ramadan 1448 is expected to start on Monday, 8 February 2027. The final date is confirmed by the moon sighting and can move by a day.

Do I need a discount permit for National Day sales?
Yes. Each year the Saudi Ministry of Commerce announces a National Day sale period and lets online stores apply for a seasonal permit on sales.mc.gov.sa, which does not count against their yearly discount allowance. The ministry's merchant guide says to apply for a seasonal permit two weeks before the season starts. Check the current rules on the Ministry of Commerce website before the season.
How do I schedule a season's offer in advance?
In PopAutomate, open the season calendar and pick the season to start a schedule from a ready template with a suggested discount and start date. Choose the products or categories, and PopAutomate applies the discount on time and restores your prices after the season.
