Flits Wishlist provides only two launch controls:

  • Header Icon (App Controlled)

  • Navigation Menu Link (Shopify Controlled)

However, how they appear depends entirely on your active Shopify theme.


Why Theme Behaviour Matters

Themes control:

  • Header layout

  • Icon alignment

  • Menu structure

  • Mobile responsiveness

  • Sticky header visibility

Flits injects the icon or page link but your theme decides how it looks.


Header icon behaviour

Depending on theme:

  • Icon may appear near Cart and Account

  • Icon size may vary

  • Mobile header may collapse icons

  • Sticky header may hide icon on scroll

If icon does not appear

Check:

  1. Is header icon enabled in Flits?

  2. Is the correct theme published?

  3. Check Online Store → Themes → Customize → Header Settings

  4. Confirm theme allows header icons

Some themes restrict header customization without code changes.


Navigation Menu Behaviour

When Wishlist page is added to Navigation:

  • It appears based on menu hierarchy

  • May appear inside drop-down

  • On mobile, inside hamburger menu

  • Mega menu themes may display it in columns

Flits does not control:

  • Menu styling

  • Dropdown behavior

  • Mega menu structure

  • Mobile menu animation

These are theme-controlled.


Always test after setup

After enabling Wishlist:

  • Test desktop view

  • Test mobile view

  • Test sticky header behavior

  • Test dropdown visibility
