How to Add Event and Booking Calendar to Your Shopify Store

How to Add Event and Booking Calendar to Your Shopify Store

Adding an event calendar to your Shopify store is one of the most overlooked ways to build community and engagement. Whether you’re promoting workshops, new product launches, or live shopping events, an embedded calendar helps visitors stay in the loop — and keeps them coming back.

Let’s explore how you can embed a Google Calendar in Shopify, show off upcoming events using third-party tools, and save time using EmbedAny, which supports over 800 embed types including top calendar services.

Why Add an Event Calendar to Your Shopify Store?

An event calendar for a website isn’t just for organizers or educators. It can help all types of ecommerce stores in many ways:

  • Announce product launch dates
  • Promote seasonal flash sales
  • Host live shopping streams or webinars
  • Schedule store pickup or delivery windows
  • Book appointments or consultations
  • List physical pop-up store events

Studies show that embedding clear event calendar examples can increase trust and time-on-page, especially if you’re a service-based or local Shopify merchant.

Here’s how stores are using calendars in real life:

  • Fashion brands: Announce new drops, influencer lives, or styling webinars.
  • Local businesses: Show opening hours and pop-up events.
  • Coaching stores: Use Calendly to let customers book 1:1 sessions.
  • Course creators: Share your class schedule using Google Calendar or TidyCal.
  • Beauty brands: Let clients book services right from your product pages.

With EmbedAny, you don’t need separate apps for each of these.

How to Embed Google Calendar in Shopify

If you use Google Calendar, here’s how to add it to your Shopify store manually.

1. Get the Embed Code for Google Calendar

  • Go to your Google Calendar settings.
  • Click on the calendar you want to embed.
  • Click share button > Embed.
  • Copy the iframe embed code.

Paste embed code for calendar in Shopify

2. Add Embed Code to Shopify

  • Go to your Shopify Admin → Online Store → Pages
  • Edit the page where you want to add the calendar
  • Click Show HTML (<> icon)
  • Paste the Google Calendar embed code and click Save

Switch to HTML view and paste the code

This is the most direct answer to how to embed a Google Calendar in a website like Shopify. It works but has limitations: no visual customization, responsiveness issues on mobile, and it’s only ideal for full-width layouts.

Adding a Calendar Using Shopify Theme Code (Liquid)

For developers, you can paste the same embed code for Google Calendar into your theme file using Liquid.

  • Go to Online Store → Themes → Edit Code
  • Choose the appropriate .liquid file like page.liquid, product.liquid, or section.liquid
  • Insert the embed code inside the HTML structure

This method gives you flexibility over placement but requires more caution and technical familiarity. If you’re not comfortable editing Liquid files, consider an app-based solution instead.

Use Shopify Calendar Apps (Paid or Free)

If you need advanced calendar functionality beyond basic embedding, there are two popular Shopify apps worth mentioning:

Appointo

Appointo is great for service-based businesses. It allows full appointment scheduling, sends automated reminders, integrates with Zoom, and even lets you assign bookings to specific team members. It’s ideal for clinics, beauty salons, tutors, or anyone needing complex booking workflows.

Appointly

Appointly is another robust booking solution built for Shopify. It supports multi-location, buffer times, and even lets customers book based on staff availability. It’s perfect for teams offering consultations, demos, or in-store sessions.

Both of these are fantastic if you’re looking to manage an entire booking system from within Shopify. But if all you need is to display a calendar or let users pick slots from your existing tool like Calendly or Google Calendar, these apps may be more than you need and come with monthly fees.
