Sign Customiser has a new order safeguard: Block emojis. When you select it, customers cannot add a design to the cart if the sign text has an emoji or an emoji-style symbol. A message shows each emoji, so that the customer knows which characters to remove. The setting is off by default. It applies to all sign types and all pricing models.
What’s Changed
- New Block emojis settingThe setting is in General Settings → Order safeguards. It is off until you select it.
- Message for customersWhen the sign text has an emoji, the customiser disables the add-to-cart button. It also disables Buy it now if your store shows that button. It shows the message “Emojis are not supported on this sign: ❤️. Remove them to continue.” with the emojis that it found.
- Editable messageTo change or translate the message, go to Settings → Languages and edit Emojis not allowed. Keep
{characters}where the emojis must show. - Emoji-style symbolsThe setting blocks emojis such as 😀, flags and keycaps. It also blocks the emoji form of symbols, such as ❤️ and ☀️, and decorative symbols, such as ♡ ☆ ✓. The font that the customer selects does not change the result.
- Letters and iconsLetters in all languages, numbers, ordinary punctuation and currency signs are permitted. © ® ™ and arrows are permitted without the emoji form. Icons from your icon set are not blocked.
- All sign textThe check includes the sign text, lightbox face text and text template fields. The customiser does the check again when the customer adds the design to the cart.
- No font message for an emojiFor an emoji, customers see the emoji message, not a message that tells them to select a different font. Allow unsupported font characters does not permit emojis.
