Hello. I would like to add an events page to my store. I want the calendar to be about events and not appointments. What are your suggestions for a FREE events calendar page? Thank you very much.

My URL is www.WildcatSoaps.com. Yes, it appears most are for appointments and not events. The one event calendar that seems promising shows it is no longer supported. So, I wanted to see what others are doing. Thank you very much.

Good morning. Yes, I have checked and the ones I want do not exist any longer or they cost large amounts of money. Are the apps the only way this can happen? Thank You.

Hey there! I realize this thread is a bit old but I run The Shop Calendar app (https://apps.shopify.com/the-shop-calendar). I built it to allow Shopify store owners to create an events calendar with unlimited events and a nice interface.

I’ve tried to be pretty cheap in terms of price ($60 for the year OR $7 if you go with a month-to-month subscription). If you have any feedback on the price itself, let me know! Happy to discuss that with you so that you have a solution for the event calendar.

BRING THE PROCE DOWN AS MORE PEOPLE WILL BUY. Make one time fee or $2-3.. in the end you will generate same revenue

Hey there!

Totally get what you’re looking for — adding an events calendar to Shopify is a great idea, especially when it’s about showcasing upcoming stuff rather than managing appointments.

If you’re aiming for a free option, here are a couple of routes you might try:

1. Google Calendar Embed (Free + Simple)
You can create a public Google Calendar, customize it a bit, and then embed it directly into a page on your Shopify store. It’s a quick setup, no cost involved. The downside is that it’s not super customizable and may not match your store design perfectly - but it does the job if you just need dates and titles listed.

2. Shopify apps
There are some free apps in the Shopify App Store that give a bit more control and style options.
For example, you might check out Elfsight’s Event Calendar app – it has a free plan and lets you show one-time or recurring events, add images/descriptions, and adjust the look to fit your store’s vibe. It doesn’t support booking or RSVPs, just event display, so it sounds like it fits what you’re after.

Setup is also no-code:

  • Create your calendar

  • Customize it (colors, layout, etc.)

  • Embed the widget code into a Shopify page using the Custom HTML section

Hope this helps you get started without the headache. If you run into anything while setting it up, happy to help out!

Cheers,
Elfsight Team

@Wildcat_Soaps :waving_hand: You can definitely set up a simple events calendar page without needing a paid app. Since you want it for events (not appointments), one free and flexible option is to use Shopify metafields.

Here’s how you could approach it:

  1. Create metafields for your events (for example: Event Title, Event Date, Event Location, Event Description, Event Image).
  2. Assign them either to Pages, Products, or a custom “Events” page depending on how you want to manage them.
  3. Create a custom page template (like page.events.liquid) that loops through those metafields and displays them in a grid or list styled like a calendar.
  4. You can use Liquid to sort events by date so upcoming events appear first.

This way, you don’t need an app — just metafields + a custom template. It’s free, lightweight, and fully customizable to match your theme design.

If you’d like, I can share a ready-to-use Liquid code snippet that you can drop into a custom page.events.liquid file, which will pull event data from metafields and display it as a calendar-style layout.
