Discounts can be scheduled, automatically tagged into collections, and revert automatically when the campaign ends." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What happens to my prices when a campaign ends?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "They revert automatically. DiscountPal saves your original price when a campaign starts and restores it — along with any tags the campaign changed — the moment it ends. No manual reset, no forgotten sale prices." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How are discounts applied in Shopify?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "DiscountPal updates the price and compare at price fields on your products. Your original pricing is stored when the campaign starts and reverted when it's deactivated." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How is this different from Shopify's built-in discounts?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Shopify's native discounts apply at checkout, so product pages keep showing full price until the final step. DiscountPal changes the displayed price itself, with strikethrough compare-at pricing, so shoppers see the deal from the first page — and so do Google Shopping and your email flows." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Does DiscountPal work with my theme?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. DiscountPal uses Shopify's own price fields, so your sale pricing displays exactly the way your theme is designed to show it — any sale badges, strikethroughs, or styling built into your theme just work. No injected code, no foreign-looking widgets." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What product selection filters are there?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Products can be included or excluded by tag, collection, vendor, and product type — or selected individually, down to the variant. Combine multiple filters for precise selections, and add separate product groups to a single campaign." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I create a sale collection?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Use auto-tagging: DiscountPal adds a tag to products while the campaign is active, so a smart collection built on that tag fills itself when the sale starts and empties when it ends." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does a campaign take to go live?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Small campaigns apply almost immediately; large ones take a few minutes to roll out across every product, and the same applies when prices revert. Campaigns run on your store's timezone." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I discount from the original price instead of the current price?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — apply the discount to the current selling price, the original RRP, or full-price items only. \"Full-price only\" skips already-reduced products, so nothing gets double-discounted." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What if I change a product's price during a campaign?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "When the campaign ends, prices revert to what they were when it started.

End the campaign, update the price, relaunch — one minute, clean pricing." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do sale prices show in Google Shopping and email apps like Klaviyo?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes — because DiscountPal changes the real product price, your Google Shopping feed and catalog-connected email tools pick up the sale automatically. Feeds refresh on their own schedules, so allow a short delay after launch." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How many products can I put on sale?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "From 50 variants on the free plan up to unlimited variants and campaigns on Pro Unlimited — with 1,000 and 3,000-variant tiers in between.

Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November 2026, with Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November 2026; in 2027 they fall on 26 and 29 November. Black Friday is now New Zealand's biggest online sales event, with most major retailers running deals across the full weekend and increasingly through all of November. _Running a Black Friday sale on Shopify? [DiscountPal](/) schedules your sale prices in advance so discounts start and end automatically._ ## When is the next Afterpay Day in New Zealand? The next Afterpay Day runs 13–16 August 2026, a four-day event. Afterpay Day runs jointly across New Zealand and Australia twice a year — March and August — covering fashion, beauty, homewares and tech. ## When is Boxing Day 2026? Boxing Day falls on Saturday 26 December 2026 and Sunday 26 December 2027. It remains one of New Zealand's biggest retail days, with clearance sales running well into the January sales period. ## Matariki: New Zealand's newest retail long weekend Matariki falls on Friday 10 July 2026 and Friday 25 June 2027 — the date shifts each year with the Māori lunar calendar, following the official government schedule. As a mid-winter public holiday it has quickly become a long-weekend retail moment, and one no international sales calendar tracks properly. ## A note on Easter trading rules Easter sales run 3–6 April 2026 (26–29 March 2027 — an unusually early Easter). New Zealand's shop trading restrictions on Good Friday and Easter Sunday mean many physical stores must close, which pushes an outsized share of Easter weekend spending online — a genuine ecommerce advantage unique to NZ among these five markets. ## When are Mother's Day and Father's Day in New Zealand? Mother's Day falls on Sunday 10 May 2026 (9 May 2027), and Father's Day on Sunday 6 September 2026 (5 September 2027) — the same dates as Australia, but note Father's Day differs from the US/UK June date. ## FAQ ### When is Black Friday 2026 in New Zealand?
