Advanced
CSS editor If you'd like to make further customizations to the module, use our embedded CSS editor. If need to make any overriding changes to the VIP Tiers Module CSS, use this class name before the class you want to override:
.yotpo-widget-VIP-tiers-widget.yotpo-widget-override-css {
}
If you are using the CSS Editor, you may see a notification asking you to update your Module version from time to time. Read more about Module Versions.
Please note:
Please make sure to use our embedded CSS editor instead of hardcoding directly onto your storefront.
We will not update a specific module instance if we detect that it will impact your live module version. Our team can only detect these issues if the CSS is in our editor.
