Cyber Monday is Monday, November 30, 2026, three days after Black Friday. Shoppers who browsed on Friday come back to see what’s changed. Here’s how to give them something new, set it up in Shopify, and end it on time.
Decide this before Black Friday, so Monday morning is a switch, not a scramble. Three common ways:
Whichever you choose, the deadline you show must be the deadline you keep. A “last chance” that comes back on Tuesday teaches shoppers to ignore your next one.
If Monday has its own offer, open your Black Friday discount in Discounts, and in Active dates click Set end date and choose Sunday, November 29. Discounts start and end in the time zone set in your Shopify admin.
Go to Discounts → Create discount and pick the type. In Active dates, set the start and end to Monday, November 30: for a one-day discount, Shopify’s Help Center says to choose the same day for both.
If the Monday code should stack on a weekend-long sale, select the right classes in its Combinations section. If it shouldn’t, leave them clear, and Shopify applies whichever discount is best for the customer’s cart. See Discount combinations.
On Sunday, check both discounts’ dates. On Monday morning, open your store in a private window and use the code once.
If your Black Friday offers are already in a Promo Drawer drawer, Monday is one more drawer, set up the week before. New to it? Install Promo Drawer and turn on its app embed; Getting started walks through both. Then:
Or ask Shopify’s Sidekick: “Make me a Cyber Monday drawer for November 30 with an extra 10% off using BFCM10 and a countdown to midnight.” It builds the drawer for you to review and save. See Sidekick.
Scheduling, the countdown card and the discount code card are on Basic and Pro, each with a 30-day free trial, so a trial started in November covers the whole weekend.
The rest of the season, week by week, is in the Black Friday checklist. To schedule any sale, see How to schedule a sale on Shopify.
Monday, November 30, 2026. Black Friday is Friday, November 27, the day after US Thanksgiving.
Shopify uses the time zone set in your admin. A discount with a start and end date of November 30 runs for that day in your store’s time zone.
It doesn’t have to. Running one offer all weekend is simpler; a new Monday offer gives returning shoppers a reason to look again. Either way, decide before Friday.
You can, but announce it as a Cyber Week sale from the start rather than extending a deadline you’ve already shown.
