Item limits and warnings
The collection can contain up to 12 unique items. OpenChair warns when more than six are selected because the section can stop feeling curated.
Featured items need review before they render when they point to something customers cannot currently book or view.
| Warning | What to check |
|---|---|
| Missing service, collection, or combo | The item may have been deleted or archived. |
| Archived service | Restore or replace the service. |
| Hidden collection or combo | Turn the item visible again or remove it from featured. |
| Above plan limit | Reduce active services or upgrade before featuring the item. |
| Needs two active services | The collection or combo no longer has enough active items. |
Storefront behaviour
Featured items render above regular service categories. They also remain in their normal category placement, so featuring an item does not remove it from the rest of the menu.
If Show on storefront is off, or the collection has no valid items, the featured section does not render.
Save conflicts
If another user changes the featured collection while your edit sheet is open, OpenChair can show Featured collection changed elsewhere. Review your draft, then try saving again.
Review the draft, adjust if needed, and select Save collection again.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Save collection is disabled | Add a public label and keep the item count at 12 or fewer. |
| Featured section does not show | Turn on Show on storefront and confirm at least one featured item is valid. |
| An item says it needs review | Open the underlying service, collection, or combo and make it active and visible, or remove it. |
| Too many items warning appears | Keep the list to six or fewer if you want the section to feel curated. |
