How can I schedule inventory changes on a specific date and time?

Topic summary

A merchant needs to schedule weekly product drops and restocks at specific dates and times without affecting current product visibility.

Current Problems:

  • Manually scheduling products removes them from the store until the scheduled time
  • Shop App doesn’t respect scheduling—inventory changes appear immediately there, creating inconsistency

Proposed Solution:
One user recommends the “Mify Restock Scheduler” app, which offers:

  • Automated inventory adjustments (increase, decrease, or reset stock)
  • Customizable scheduling (daily, weekly, or monthly at specific times)

The discussion remains open regarding whether this app fully addresses the Shop App synchronization issue.

Hello, our store has weekly drops and restocks that we have to manually schedule.

The issue with this is 1) It takes the item down from our store until that time and 2) It does not schedule on the Shop App like the store, so when we change the quantity it makes it available there immediately.

Is there a way to schedule inventory changes for a certain date and time?

It seems absurd that Shopify does not have a solution for this basic business practice and there isn’t even an app for it.

Any help would be appreciated as it is affecting our business.
