yes the heart icon appears on product cards on collection pages as well as on product pages, so customers can save products as they browse are favourites shared with other users or accounts? no favourites are personal to each logged in customer a customer only sees their own list, and it isn't shared with other customers or users does adding a favourite to the cart remove it from favourites? no products stay in favourites after being added to the cart, so customers can return to them again and again what happens if a favourited product is no longer available? the product still appears in the customer's favourites, but it can't be added to the cart the customer is shown a clear message explaining this, and can remove the product from their list does removing a favourite affect my shopping lists?
