Points to be aware of with Wishlist Hero
May conflict with external apps
By default, Wishlist Hero displays a cart button within the wishlist. However, for products where you use an external app for pre-order sales, time-limited sales, or launch announcements, adding the product to the cart using the cart button inside the wishlist can cause issues, such as "not being able to place a pre-order" or "being able to place an order even outside the period."
If you use Wishlist Hero alongside a pre-order app or a selling-period-setting app, refer to "How to hide the cart button from the wishlist" below to hide Wishlist Hero's cart button and have customers add items to cart only from the product page.
How to hide the cart button from the wishlist
- Click "setting" in the app's left menu
- Click "Configure" in the Customize Wishlist Appearance section
- Uncheck "Show add to cart button in product card" in the Display the Wishlist module as section
- Click "Save" in the bottom right of the screen
Doesn't support Japanese
The app's admin screen and help page don't support Japanese. Because of this, those who aren't comfortable with English may find it a little difficult to use.
