Excluding Products from a Schedule

Sometimes the easiest way to describe a schedule is "everything in X, except…". The Exclude products section handles the except.

Plan note: excluding products is available on Pro and Plus.

How it works

Set up your main product selection as usual — a collection, tag, vendor or product list.
Open the Exclude products section beneath it.
Choose what to exclude under Exclude by — specific products, collections, tags or vendors — and make your selection.

When the schedule runs, the main selection is resolved first, then anything matching your exclusions is removed from the list before any changes are made.

Examples

Discount the Summer collection, except clearance items: include collection "Summer", exclude tag "clearance".
Unpublish everything from a vendor except bestsellers: include vendor, exclude the handful of products to keep.
Sale on all "outdoor" tagged products except a collaborator's range: include tag "outdoor", exclude that vendor.

Good to know

Exclusions are resolved when the schedule runs — so with live collections, both the include and exclude lists reflect the state at run time.
An excluded product is completely untouched: no price change, no tags, no visibility change.
