Product availability: apply a schedule to specific products
Product availability: apply a schedule to specific products
Decide which products a scheduling rule applies to — all products, or a specific set defined by product, variant, collection, vendor, tag, or type.
Overview
Each method's scheduling rule has a Product availability setting. Use it to run different rules for different parts of your catalog — for example, same-day for groceries but next-day for cakes.
Before you start
- A method (Local delivery, Pickup, or Shipping) is enabled with a scheduling rule.
How to configure product availability
Here's how, step by step:

Step 1: Open the rule and scroll to Product availability
In the method you're configuring, scroll down to Product availability.
Step 2: Choose the scope
- All products — the rule applies to your whole catalog.
- Include products — the rule applies to ONLY the selected items; others are not scheduled by this rule.
- Exclude products — the rule applies to everything EXCEPT the selected items.
Step 3: Pick the items
For include/exclude, select by Product, Product + variants, Collection, Vendor, Product tag, or Product type. You can combine products and collections together.
Common scenarios
One rule for everything
Choose All products — the simplest setup.
Different schedule for a category
Use Include with a collection (e.g., "Cakes") so only those products follow this rule.
Everything except a few items
Use Exclude to carve out special products that shouldn't use this rule (then give them their own).
Scope by vendor or tag
Apply a rule to a vendor's whole range, or to any product carrying a tag like "made-to-order".
Configuration options
Option | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
All products | Rule applies to the whole catalog | Default |
Include products | Rule applies only to selected items | Others unscheduled by this rule |
Exclude products | Rule applies to everything except selected | — |
Item types | Product, variant, collection, vendor, tag, type | Mix products and collections |
Tips & Best practices
Troubleshooting
A product shows the wrong schedule (or none)?
Check whether it's covered by Include/Exclude — it may be unintentionally excluded, or caught by another rule.
Two rules overlap on the same product?
Tighten the include/exclude scope so each product is covered by exactly one rule.
FAQ
Can I scope by variant?
Yes — choose "Product, variants" to target specific variants.
How do I revert to applying everywhere?
Set Product availability back to All products.
