Maximum number of items in favorites
It is important not to overload pages with information for website efficiency. For example, it may happen that customer won't be able to open a page with favorite goods (for example, if there are more than 1000 of them, it depends on which server your site is located. After all, the more products the slower your website pages load. Customer can cancel purchase if it takes much time to load page). We recommend limiting number of goods in your favorites to avoid this problem.
