Summary

Ahmed Moussa installed the Notify Me app and needed help with widget text visibility and placement for his pre-order button, which was resolved by the agent fixing a theme conflict and repositioning the widget text. Later, Ahmed raised a more critical issue: customers could only pay with credit card when selecting pre-order items, with iDEAL (a popular Dutch payment method) being unavailable. The agent explained this is a Shopify platform limitation for pre-orders and pointed to Shopify's documentation, leaving Ahmed dissatisfied as the issue could not be resolved by the app.

"my clients rely on IDEAL. which is a payment method in the netherlands"
