Schedule Product Publications with HitMe - HitMe eCommerce offers a smart scheduling feature that lets you create products and set them to go live at a future date and time. Perfect for planning launches, promotions, or product updates in advance—saving you time and keeping your store running smoothly and efficiently.
How to Schedule a Product for Future Publication
Follow these steps to schedule a product to go live on a specific date and time:
1. Access the Product Management Section
- Navigate to eCommerce > Products in your dashboard. From here, you can either select an existing product to edit or click the option to create a new product.
2. Edit or Create a Product
- Open the product details page by clicking on the product you wish to edit, or click Add New Product to start from scratch.
3. Open Advanced Settings
- On the product editing page, locate and click the icon or menu option for additional settings. This will display a list of advanced options for configuring your product.
4. Set the Publication Date and Time
- From the advanced settings list, select Publication Date. A date and time picker will appear, allowing you to specify the exact moment you want the product to be published.
5. Ensure the Product is Set to "Published" Status
- For the scheduled publication to take effect, the product’s status must be set to Published. Without this, the product will not automatically go live at the specified time.
6. Save Your Changes
- Once you have configured the publication settings, save the product to finalize the scheduling process.
Benefits of Scheduled Product Publication
