Scheduling Specific Variants
Sometimes you don't want a schedule to touch a whole product — just certain sizes, colours or bundle options. Auto Schedule supports variant-level scheduling in two places.
Where variant selection is available
- Discount and price increase schedules — change prices on selected variants only.
- Add/remove from online store sales channel schedules — make selected variants available or unavailable on your online store.
It isn't available for status-based publish/unpublish schedules, because a product's status (active/draft/archived) applies to the whole product in Shopify.
How to select variants
- In the Product selection section, choose Specific products and add your products.
- Click Edit on a product card to open the variant picker and tick just the variants you want.
- The card confirms your selection — e.g. "(3 of 8 variants selected)". Products without a specific selection show "(Whole product — all variants)".
Variants you leave unselected are untouched: they keep their price, and they stay available on your store.
Good to know
- Reverts are variant-aware. At the end of the schedule, only the selected variants are reverted.
- If a selected variant is deleted from the product before the schedule runs, it's simply skipped — the rest of the selection still processes.
- Collections, tags and vendor selections always apply to whole products — variant selection is only available with specific products.
