--- title: General & Display Settings description: Tailor NotifyBay to your store. Configure core logic, compliance rules, and visual appearance. --- The **Settings** panel is your command center for customizing how NotifyBay interacts with your customers and how it looks on your storefront. Navigate to **NotifyBay > Settings** to begin. This guide covers the **General** and **Display** (Appearance) tabs. --- ## 1. General Logic Tab The General tab controls the fundamental rules for your notification engine. ### Core Feature Selection * **Enable Wishlist:** Toggle this ON to allow customers to track price drops on in-stock items. If disabled, only the Waitlist (Back-in-Stock) functionality will be active. ![General Feature Selection](/notifybay/assets/screenshots/settings-general-logic.png) ### Compliance & Security * **Double Opt-In:** When enabled, guest users receive a verification email. They must click a link in that email before their subscription becomes active. * **Why use this?** It ensures high-quality leads and is highly recommended for **GDPR** and **CAN-SPAM** compliance. It prevents bots from spamming your forms and ensures you only email people who truly want your notifications. ![Double Opt-In Section](/notifybay/assets/screenshots/settings-compliance-optin.png) ### Inventory & Backorder Logic Choose how NotifyBay should behave when a product allows backorders in WooCommerce: * **Waitlist only if backorders disabled:** The standard mode. The form only appears if the item is strictly unpurchasable. * **Show waitlist regardless of backorders:** Useful if you want to gauge interest even while accepting orders. * **Never show waitlist for backorderable items:** Keeps your product pages clean for items you can still ship. ![Backorder Behavior Dropdown](/notifybay/assets/screenshots/settings-backorder-logic.png) --- ## 2. Display (Appearance) Tab The Display tab allows you to integrate NotifyBay buttons seamlessly into your store's unique design. ### Waitlist Styling * **Button Text:** Customize the call-to-action (e.g., "Notify Me when Back!"). * **Button CSS Class:** Add your theme's native button classes (e.g., `button alt` or `btn-primary`) so the form matches your site perfectly. * **Success Message:** The text shown immediately after a user joins the list. ![Waitlist Styling Section](/notifybay/assets/screenshots/settings-waitlist-styling.png) ### Social Proof (FOMO) Create urgency by showing shoppers that others are interested in the product. * **FOMO Template:** Use the `{count}` tag to create custom messages (e.g., *"🔥 Join {count} others waiting for this item"*). * **Minimum Threshold:** To keep your brand look premium, only show the message if the count is high enough (e.g., only show if at least 5 people are waiting). ![Social Proof Settings](/notifybay/assets/screenshots/settings-fomo-logic.png) ### Wishlist Styling *(Note: These settings only appear if "Enable Wishlist" is toggled ON in the General tab).* * **Archive Visibility:** If enabled, a small heart icon or button will appear on your shop and category pages. This allows customers to track prices without ever leaving the product gallery. ![Wishlist Styling Section](/notifybay/assets/screenshots/settings-wishlist-styling.png) --- ## 3. Advanced Customization (CSS) For store owners who want complete control over the layout, NotifyBay includes a built-in CSS editor. * **Additional CSS:** Enter raw CSS here to override any part of the plugin's frontend. You can target classes like `.notifybay-waitlist-btn` or `.notifybay-wishlist-wrapper`. > [!WARNING] > Do not include `
