#### **Possible issue #2:** Avoid Checking for Book Now in the Theme Editor

* **Why it matters**: Cowlendar doesn’t always display within the theme editor view.

  2. To jump straight to the product page, go to **Apps > Cowlendar > My Services** and click **View** on the specific service.

#### **Possible issue #3:** Check Product Inventory

* **Why it matters**: If your product is out of stock or has quantity tracking on with no inventory, Cowlendar might be hidden.
* **How to fix**:
  1. Check if your product has any stock available.
  2. If needed, add inventory or turn off “Track quantity.”
  3. Save your changes.

{% endcontent-ref %}

**Possible issue #6:** Ensure “Add to Cart” Button is Present

* **Why it matters**: Cowlendar replaces the “Add to Cart” button with “Book Now,” so the button must exist for Cowlendar to work.
* **How to fix**:
  1. If you removed “Add to Cart,” re-add it to your product page.

**Possible issue #7:** Reconnect Product Variants After Editing

* **How to fix**:
  1. Go to **Apps > Cowlendar > My Services**.
  2. Click **Edit** on the affected service.
  3. Reselect all the correct product variants by clicking on **Change.**
  4. Save your changes.

**Possible issue #8:** Don’t apply the service list app block to your product page

  * Make sure you still have your Add to cart button on the product page
  * Remove the cowlendar app block you added into the product page (in your theme editor
