Order-by dates, holiday returns and sale periods cannot be read from your store the way a shipping zone or a policy can — they depend on dates only you know. The Holiday page is a short form for exactly those dates, which the app turns into answers for the season.
What it writes
| Answer | What it is based on |
|---|---|
| Christmas order-by date, per shipping zone | The order-by date you set for each zone. |
| Holiday returns | Your extended returns date, or the end of the season if you leave it blank. |
| Gift answers | The end of the season. |
| Black Friday / Cyber Monday | Your sale end date, or the day after your sale ends if you leave it blank. |
They expire themselves
Each holiday answer is given an expiry date based on the dates you entered, so a Christmas order-by answer does not stay live and wrong in February. You do not need to remember to take them down.
