To schedule a BOGO offer, enable the option Schedule from the right panel of the page.
Here, you have the option to set a Start date and time and an End date and time. You can choose to set either the end date alone or both dates.
- When both dates are set, the offer remains valid within that timeframe. The shown offer is valid from 12 Aug 2024 to 30 Aug 2024.
- If only the start date is set, the offer is valid from that date and time until you manually disable it. The shown offer will become active on 14th Aug 2024 and will be active until you disable it manually.
- Setting only the end date validates the offer from the current day until the specified date and time. The offer shown will be active from the time it was created until 28 August 2024.
