Choose the products or collections a schedule changes

In 1. What to change, choose Products or Collections and click the select button. The change applies to every variant of each product: you cannot pick single variants.

Steps

Path: Home > Create schedule > 1. What to change

1. In PopAutomate, open Home and click Create schedule.
2. Under Choose by, keep Products, or choose Collections to change every product in the collections you pick.
3. Click Select products (or Select collections). Tick the items in the Shopify list and confirm.
4. Check the list under the button: each product shows its number of variants. To add or remove items, click Change products (or Change collections).

Step 1. What to change with two products picked. Each product shows its number of variants.

5. Fill in the other steps. In 4. Review and save, the plan block shows how many variants this schedule changes and how many your plan allows.

The plan block in 4. Review and save: the plan's limits and the number of variants this schedule changes.

Result

• Products: when the schedule runs, a price change or discount is planned for every variant of each picked product. A variant that already has the new price, or that a discount would not lower, is left as it is. Hiding or showing works on the whole product.
• Collections: PopAutomate reads the products of each collection when the schedule runs. Products you add to the collection later are changed too, and smart collections can be picked here.

Rules

• One schedule takes up to 250 products or up to 10 collections, on every plan.
• Switching between Products and Collections clears what you picked.
• Your plan limits the variants in one schedule: up to 50 on the Free plan, up to 5,000 on Pro. Over the limit, saving shows a banner that asks you to select fewer products or upgrade.
• The variants of a collection are counted when you save. Every time the schedule runs, PopAutomate counts the variants again, so a collection that has grown can put the schedule over your plan's limit. That run changes nothing, and the edit page says "The last run stopped: over your plan limit". A repeating schedule moves on to its next run.
• A draft is not checked against the plan. The check happens when you turn it on. See Save a draft, turn a schedule on, and edit it.

If it did not work

• The select button is greyed out and the page says "Open PopAutomate from your Shopify admin to select products.": open the app from Apps in your Shopify admin, not from a direct link.
• Saving says "Some of these are no longer in your store. Select them again.": a product or collection was deleted in Shopify. Click Change products (or Change collections) and pick again.
• A banner says your plan limit is reached → Your schedule is over the plan limit
• The edit page says The last run stopped: over your plan limit → Your schedule is over the plan limit
