Product Title and Image Clickable Link to Product Page in Shopify Dawn Theme
Hey there, it's not clear whether you are asking a question or sharing feedback. If you are having difficulties with the Dawn theme, please contact our Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can help you with any roadblocks you are experiencing.
Can the Dawn theme on Shopify support up to 200 product categories and 20,000 individual items?
Hello, currently you can have unlimited products with up to 100 variants per product. We do know that this isn't enough for merchants with more complex catalogues, so we have announced that we will be supporting up to 2000 variants per product starting in 2024. You can find out more about this here (https://bit.ly/4dNO5Q5)!
I think this theme us thoroughly underestimated. Tried it again and love it! A few wishes! Always open/full width search bar. I would like the option to let filters be - closed, first open, all open. On the collections page - have load more instead of pagination. The recommendations section on the product should also have buy button options. Inventory status on product card on collections page.
Hey, thanks for trying out Dawn again and giving us this feedback. We appreciate know what our merchants are looking for out of the box with our themes so that we can consistently make them better with each update. You can view the Shopify Changelog (https://bit.ly/3N3WHop) to stay updated on changes and updates we make.
We started with this theme a year ago because we are minimalists and the code changes showed a fast moving project. However, the last few releases have not contained as much as last year. I think this project has great potential but it needs a user focused roadmap with a balance of new features and optimisations in each release. There are loads of simple enhancements but nothing being delivered.
Hey there, we appreciate the feedback about Dawn's releases not containing as much new content as you had hoped! While our motto with all our products is "merchants first", we can understand that later updates aren't as robust as they were in the beginning. We welcome merchants sharing this with us so we can make future updates better.
