Limited Component Placement: LimeSpot components can only be added to the purchase journey, including Checkout, Post-purchase, Thank You, and Order Status pages.
Reduced Customization: Without app blocks, you won’t be able to fully integrate LimeSpot features throughout your store (App blocks won't be available on Home, Collections, Collection-list, Products or Cart).
