scheduling recurrence

Choose a one-time campaign schedule

Learn how to choose a one-time campaign schedule with a safe Juniper & Trail example, shopper impact, options, and recovery checks. Apply now versus Scheduled controls the start; At time versus Manual controls revert. These choices are independent, allowing immediate fixed-window, future fixed-window, and open-ended campaigns.

Before you begin

• Confirm the shop timezone displayed in Basics
• Choose when the offer applies
• Choose automatic or manual revert

Keep the campaign in Draft while you verify the configuration. Use a private storefront window where the guide changes shopper-facing behavior.

Juniper & Trail example

Juniper & Trail applies choose a one-time campaign schedule to a weekend promotion in the shop timezone. An owner checks the resolved start and revert instants before launch. The documentation fixture uses realistic products, inventory states, variants, collections, and protected exclusions so the preview exercises the same decisions as a merchant catalog.

What shoppers will see

The offer is visible only after activation finishes and remains eligible until the configured revert or a manual stop. Check the relevant result from product through cart where applicable. For shopper-facing work, compare desktop and mobile and verify both an eligible and an ineligible item.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

• Acting on the wrong shop. Confirm the Shopify store and campaign before following Choose a one-time campaign schedule.
• Trusting a stale preview. Refresh after catalog, schedule, discount, theme, locale, or market changes.
• Repeating a background command. Read status and History first; retry only when Badgy presents a recoverable failure.
• Skipping the consequence check. Confirm what changes for shoppers and what the end or restore path will do.

If the status reports revoked authorization, reconnect Shopify before retrying. If the result still differs from the preview, preserve the campaign ID and approximate time, then open support from this identified shop. Never send customer data, access tokens, or full catalog exports in feedback.
