How to schedule different Etsy discounts for weekdays and weekends

1. Open the correct Etsy shop

Use desktop Chrome with SaleDay installed. Sign in to the Etsy shop you own or are authorized to manage, then open Shop Manager → Marketing → Sales and discounts. Open the SaleDay side panel and sign in to SaleDay if prompted.

Check the connected shop before continuing. Choose your promotion month in Plan Sales. Sale creation requires an active trial or a paid plan. Choose dates within your plan’s available scheduling window. Check current plans and scheduling access if needed.

2. Add the weekday discount

1. Under Which days?, choose Weekdays for Monday through Friday.
2. Enter 20 as the discount percentage for this example.
3. If you use a promotion name, make it recognizable, such as Weekday20OFF.
4. Check the selected dates, then click Add discount to include the rule in your plan.

Selecting days or typing a percentage is not enough by itself: make sure the discount has been added to your monthly plan.

3. Add the weekend discount

Start another discount rule in the same month. If the previous rule is still open for editing, choose Add another promotion first.

1. Choose Weekends for Saturday and Sunday.
2. Enter 25 as the discount percentage.
3. Optionally give it a name such as Weekend25OFF.
4. Click Add discount.

Your plan should now contain both discount groups. Keep the two rules in the same monthly plan so you can check them together before creating sales.

4. Review the combined calendar

Open Review Schedule. Check that weekday dates show 20% and weekend dates show 25%, allowing for any unavailable dates in your chosen month.

• Confirm the correct shop and month.
• Check every selected date and its discount.
• Confirm that each planned promotion applies to the whole shop.
• Resolve any warnings or conflicts before continuing.

Check promotions already scheduled on Etsy too. Do not assume the new plan will leave every existing sale unchanged; read any replacement or conflict information shown by SaleDay before approving a run.

5. Confirm creation on Etsy

When the schedule is right, continue to Create on Etsy, check the shop and schedule once more, and click Confirm and create on Etsy. SaleDay works through the dates and creates the daily whole-shop promotions after your confirmation.

Keep Chrome, the Etsy Sales and discounts page, and the SaleDay panel open while the run is in progress. SaleDay runs in your browser. Completion time depends on the number of dates and Etsy’s response time.

Follow the progress list and check the confirmed results. If a run pauses or shows a warning, read the message and check the result on Etsy before continuing.

6. Save the plan for next time

Use Save plan for next time, give the plan a clear name such as Weekdays 20 · Weekends 25, and save it. You can load the saved rules into another month, then review the new dates before creating sales.

Saved plans stay in the Chrome profile where you save them. They do not sync through your SaleDay account. Reusing a plan in another shop still requires checking the connected shop and staying within your plan’s shop allowance.
