Limited Time Sales

[Shirellbakes]

I have been searching countless online Square boards in search for a workaround to my issue. It doesn't appear there is one. I run a bakery so Square online is my main sales portal. I wanted to run a special sale for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the only assistance I have found is regarding discounts. I actually plan to charge a little more for the items I'm selling during the holidays because they'll be more customized. I was hoping for almost a calendar option to start my sale (for example) November 1 and have it end December 6 for the Thanksgiving sale, and run another sale on a different item from December 13 through December 31. Pre-order doesn't work in this particular instance because I don't want to gather the sales and then fill the order. I want customers to be able to place orders at any time through the end date of the sale. Squarespace has this option, but I switched to Square and this feature seems to be non-existent. Does anyone have a workaround that's been successful, or do I have to manually man the process of setting up the sale and going in on the date I'd like the sale to end to hide the visibility of the product?

@Shirellbakes You might be able to do a really brutal work around using the archive feature.  I would have to check and see, but you could effectively duplicate your items, archive them.  Then the day of archive your regular set, and unarchive your "special" holiday set.  Ones would be hidden and the others would be good to go.  It is almost like using bulk edit to manipulate your catalog.  I just am not sure if the archive keeps items available from archive to unarchive status.

So for the sale are you actually increasing prices? or just certain items will be discounted?
