### 🔧 Setting Up Start and End Dates

1. **Go to your Cashback Configuration**\
   Open the app and go to the specific cashback configuration you want to schedule.
2. **Set a Start Date**
   * Choose a date when you want your cashback offer to begin.
   * You can set it in the **future** if you’re preparing for an upcoming sale or promotional event.
3. **Set an End Date (optional)**
   * Leave the end date blank if you want the offer to run indefinitely.
   * Add an end date if you want the cashback to automatically stop after a certain day.
   * Once the end date passes, **no cashback** will be given for orders placed after that time.

***

### 💡 Example

If you set:

* **Start Date:** October 17
* **End Date:** (empty)

Your cashback offer will **start on October 17** and **continue running indefinitely** until you manually stop or update it.

If you add an **End Date**, the offer will only be valid during that time window.

### 🧩 Using Cashback Variables in Widgets and PDP Blocks

The following **Liquid variables** are available for you to display dynamic cashback details across your store:

| Variable    | Description                                           |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `startDate` | Displays when the cashback offer begins               |
| `endDate`   | Displays when the cashback offer ends                 |
| `amount`    | Shows the cashback amount (percentage or fixed value) |
| `title`     | Displays the title of the cashback configuration      |

These variables can be used in both the:

* [**Cashback Widget**](/dollarback-store-credit/show-rewards/cashback-widget.md)
* [**Product Page app block**](/dollarback-store-credit/show-rewards/product-page.md)

***

### 🪄 Adding Cashback Message to the Product Page

1. Go to your **PDP Template** in the editor.
2. Click **Add Block → Cashback Rewards Product Block**.
3. Use the variables (`startDate`, `endDate`, `amount`, `title`) to customize the message shown to customers.\
   For example:

   ```
   Get {{ amount }} cashback on this product!
   Offer valid from {{ startDate }} to {{ endDate }}.
   ```

This ensures your customers always see accurate, time-bound cashback details right on the product page.

***

### ✅ Summary

* **Start Date** = When your cashback campaign begins.
* **End Date** = When it stops (optional).
* Variables like `amount`, `startDate`, and `endDate` help you display real-time cashback info on your storefront.

You can use these settings to automate your promotions and make your cashback campaigns more flexible and time-specific.
