This is an awesome theme that definitely doesn't deserve such negative ratings. Not just that fact that its completely free - It's always being upgraded, and its a massive step up from the old 1.0 free themes. Mega menu, mobile friendly features, excellent (meta)filters - its got pretty much everything you need for plug and play. Amazing how people who cant afford a paid theme give bad reviews.

Apple Pay button doesn't work on this theme (but works fine on checkout). How can I fix it?

Reply from Shopify 12 days ago

Hey, you'll want to ensure that, within the Theme Editor, you have the "Show dynamic checkout buttons" setting activated within the Buy Buttons block in the Product Information section. Also, please double check that you've got Apple Pay set up as an option in your payment settings. If it still doesn't appear, please contact our Support here (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so we can take a closer look!

Dawn is awesome, especially for nothing. With a little skill and a little modification it is a high converting, clean and leading edge theme that is constantly kept up to date by Shopify. What's not to like? Using the different settings is really easy to get something that does not look like the out of the box theme that a lot of stores look like. https://1936original.com

Reply from Shopify Oct 29, 2024

Hello, this can happen when utilizing Markets and setting up theme editor settings for a specific Market only. You'll need to ensure you're making changes to all Market locations in the editor! If you've ensured this is done and it's still not showing correctly on the storefront, please contact our Support here (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so we can help you troubleshoot.
