General settings
Every setting on the General section, field by field.
Settings > Settings > General contains 4 groups. Each setting below links to the page that explains it in full.
Widget Settings

Where the widget sits on the product page. Eight choices — four relative to theme elements, four relative to a CSS selector. See Widget placement

Fixed height

The group also includes a tip pointing to the theme editor, because an app block is usually a more reliable way to place the widget than a CSS selector.

Notes
All of these settings are store-wide.
Several may not be available on all plans. Those display an upgrade prompt rather than being hidden.
You have to save your changes. The app warns you before you leave the page with unsaved changes.
