Create and update events
Each event is associated with a category from your catalog, and only one event can be associated with any given category at a time. To display a list of upcoming events in your store, you must also set up a Catalog Events Carousel widget.
Create an event
-
On the Admin sidebar, go to Marketing > Private Sales > Events.
-
In the upper-right corner, click Add Catalog Event.
-
In the category tree, choose the category that you want to associate with the event.
Because each category can have only one event at a time, any categories that already have an event are disabled.
