How does the Exclude By URL work in the Buy Me App?
If you want to hide certain widgets like Sticky Buy Me Widget, Sticky Buy Me Cart, Sticky Cart Preview, or Quick Buy Me Widget on specific pages, you can do so using the Exclude By URL feature.
Open the Buy Me - Sticky Buy Button app in your Shopify Admin.
Go to Exclude URLs > Exclude URLs section.
Click the Add New URL button.
Enter the URL of the page where you want to hide the widget(s).
Select the widget(s) you want to exclude from the dropdown menu.
Click the Add button to save the URL in the excluded widget list.
If you later decide to show the widgets again, simply click the delete icon next to the URL entry.
Hiding widgets on specific pages: Prevent widgets from appearing on checkout, cart, or other custom pages.
Subscription-based products: If you sell subscription-based products and don’t want the Sticky Buy Me Widget to appear on certain URLs.
Pre-order products: If certain products are available only for pre-order and you don’t want Sticky Buy Me Widget displayed.
Cart page exclusion: If you prefer not to show Sticky Buy Me Cart on your store’s cart page.
You can use the * wildcard to exclude widgets for a group of pages.
For example: example.com/collections/collection_name/* → Excludes widgets from all product pages within a collection.
example.com/* → Excludes widgets from all pages.
example.com/collections/* → Excludes widgets from all collection pages.
example.com/products/* → Excludes widgets from all product pages.
example.com/blogs/* → Excludes widgets from all blog pages.
example.com/pages/* → Excludes widgets from all standard pages.
example.com/accounts/* → Excludes widgets from all account-related pages.
example.com*
example.com/collections*
example.com/*collections
example.com/*products*
example.com/*products/*
example.com/*/products*
Shopify allows two ways to access product pages:
example.com/products/product_name
example.com/collections/collection_name/product/product_name
If you exclude a widget using the first URL format, it will not appear when a customer visits the product page using that format.
However, if a customer accesses the product page using the second URL format, the widget will still be visible.

Important Note About Shopify Product Page URLs
Shopify allows two ways to access product pages:
example.com/products/product_name
example.com/collections/collection_name/product/product_name
