An advent calendar app for Shopify. Behind each door sits one of your products, optionally with a discount code that is valid on that day only. Doors still to come stay shut, so shoppers have a reason to come back to your store every day until Christmas. Formerly Simple Adventskalender.
For each door you choose a product from your catalog. When a shopper opens today's door, they see that product and can go straight to it. Future doors cannot be opened early, and their products are not even in the page source. Nobody can peek at next week's deal.
Switch on a discount for a door and pick a percentage or a fixed amount, for the whole cart or just the door's product. The app creates a real Shopify discount code and limits it to its day: valid from the opening time until midnight in your store's timezone. Opening the door applies the code to the cart automatically, so shoppers don't have to type anything. You can also use a code of your own.
The classic is 24 doors from 1 December. But you pick the start date and anything from 1 to 31 doors, so the same app runs a Black Week countdown, a Halloween calendar, a Valentine's week or a twelve days of Christmas. Doors can run in order, backwards or shuffled, and open at a time of day you set.
Choose one of eight colour presets, let the app match a second colour to yours, or set the colours per door. For something more special, upload a poster, like a winter village or a night sky, and place the doors freely on the picture. They open as part of it. Today's door can keep swinging open as a small animation that catches the eye.
Nine ready-made templates, from Advent to Valentine's Day, set up doors, dates, colours and discounts in one go. Posters come with their artwork and the doors already in place. Pick one, choose your products, save.
The calendar is an app block: add it to any page in the theme editor, no code involved. It uses your products, your colours and your store's timezone, and it reads its settings straight from your shop. Opening a door never sends a request to us. A preview mode shows any day of the campaign before it starts. The app speaks English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Portuguese.
The app has a live chat inside the Shopify admin. You can also write to
support@scalyapp.de with your .myshopify.com
domain, and the page URL if it concerns the storefront.
