How can I add a Date Picker for event scheduling on my product page?

[NoahDollinger]

Hey! I work at a small business that likes to run events out of our space quite frequently. Currently, I have been adding events just as a product and then just adding every date as a variant, however for events that we run longer I'm running into issues with too many variant, plus just a confusing viewpoint for the customer. Is there a way to add a Date Picker type calandar to the events product page, so the customer can just choose a date that way? And if so, would the customers option show up in the order page after finalizing? 

Thanks so much!

Hi @NoahDollinger 

Try adding this to your product section. The said date should show as a line-item property can be viewed in the order. 

NOTE: Style might depend on your theme. 

<input type="date" name="properties[date]">

If you need specific instructions, please provide your theme

Hi @NoahDollinger,

It's been a few months since you initially raised your topic, and I'm unsure if you've found a solution by now. Regardless, I'd like to offer a simple suggestion for adding a Date Picker option to your product without creating more variants. The Easify Product Options app can help you achieve this 🤗.

Here's a quick demonstration of how to set it up using the app:

• Create a new option set:

• Add the Date Picker option type:

• Customize the Date Picker options with details like the Option label (visible on the product page), available dates for selection, the number of selectable dates, help text, placeholder, tooltips, and more:

• Choose which products (or events) you want to incorporate the Date Picker option into:

That's all there is to it! Your setup is now complete.

As you can see, resolving your issue is made straightforward with the Easify Product Options app. Give it a try and see how it seamlessly integrates a Date Picker option into your events 🙌.

Hey @NoahDollinger — totally get where you’re coming from. Using variants for each date quickly becomes unmanageable, especially for recurring or multi-day events.

Yes — it’s possible to add a calendar-style date picker to the product page, so customers can simply select a date before checkout. You can treat the selection like any other line item property, so it shows up in the order details after they purchase.

One way to do this is using an app like Flare: Delivery Date Picker, which works across product, cart or checkout pages. It’s often used by businesses running workshops, bookings or deliveries, where customers need to choose a specific date upfront.

Hope that helps — happy to share more if useful!
