EDIT: The link in your reply doesn't work. Can you please help with a direct link where you can help me please? Since updating, I've had an issue with the addtocart event firing for the Pinterest sales channel. I have my add to cart setting as drawer & Pinterest have said they think the issue is with an Ajax add to cart?? Can you help please? It looks like add to cart is a common issue.

Hey there, this definitely isn't something we want happening! Since it sounds like you've already contacted Pinterest's Support team, please go ahead and contact our own Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can take a closer look into this for you.

Desde su actualización al 11.0 por alguna extraña razón las ventas han caído de forma radical. Hay personas que reportan que no pueden buscar productos, otros que no pueden terminar la compra. Terrible actualización. No trabaja de forma correcta con Iphone (el buscador no funciona y no permite agregar carritos).

Hola, gracias por hacérnoslo saber. Comuníquese con nuestro soporte (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) para que podamos analizar más de cerca por qué sucede esto. A veces, la actualización de un tema puede hacer que algunas aplicaciones también funcionen incorrectamente, si está utilizando alguna actualmente.

Verson 11.0.0 the color setting part is not working. And the Shopify help center that you refer to doesn't help. So I contacted to the agent and gave my email address hope can resolve it. As can see from here a lot of people facing exactly same issues. https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/version-11-0-0-dawn-theme/td-p/2177968 Hope they can see this problem and resolve it.

We recently migrated from Dawn 3.0 to Dawn 10.0. We don't know exactly what changed in the checkout, but we have seen a very significant decrease of the people that place an order vs Checkout Initiated. No changes in the added to cart or checkouts initiated detected.

Hey, thanks for sharing this information. There are definitely several factors in a theme (apps, manually added code, edits from the theme editor, etc,) that can have an effect of the shopping journey that your customers experience. Definitely contact our Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can take a closer look into why your conversion is being affected!
