Discount Schedule:
To activate a discount or promotion code for a specific period of time, you can utilize the Discount Schedule feature. This allows you to schedule the availability of your discount or promotion code based on specific days of the week, a date range, or a combination of both.
The discount schedule you configure for each discount or promo code determines when it will be automatically applied.
By enabling specific days and setting a date range, the discount or promo code will only be active during those specified periods.
However, if you disable both the "Apply to specific days" and "Apply Date Range" options, the discount or promo code will be active at all times without any restrictions based on days or dates
