Added

• Important: Product images on the Product Page, Featured Product Section, and Quick Buy Modal will now be adjusted by default to fit within the screen's height. You can still turn this off if you’d like your images to be bigger.
• We built a new mechanism to add sections & apps to your site's header & footer area directly from the online store editor.
• We added a "Multi-row" section that lets you create a repeatable pattern of images and text. It also connects to metaobjects in the admin for a supercharged workflow.
• We added a new setting that will constrain the height of product images on the Product Page and Featured Product Section. You'll now have the option to display product images in their original aspect ratio or crop them to fill the allotted space.
• The product page now displays quantity rules tied to a product variant (minimum, maximum, increments) when they apply. The product page also indicates if a buyer already has quantity for an item in their cart.
• We added an option for buyers to Follow your store on the Shop App.
• We added a new block to display icons with text to the product information section.

Changed

• Important: We changed the default height of the Image Banner from “Adapt to image size” to “medium” to better display larger images on screens. This will result in a slight visual change for themes who previously had this setting enabled. If you would like to revert the change, select “Adapt to first image” option in the “Banner height” setting.
• We centralized the logo settings from the Header & Password sections to the Global Settings.
• We changed the default height of the Slideshow Section to "Medium" instead of "Adapt to Image".

• We improved the Complementary Product Cards on the Product page by making the cards more compact.
• We streamlined the appearance of the Thumbnails product images by making them all the same size.

• We fixed a bug where bullet points were not aligning properly in some sections.
• We fixed a bug with how colour gradients were displayed in the Header section.
• We fixed a bug on the customer pages, so that order totals now display refunds.

• We added pagination to the main collection list.

Changed

• Important: We introduced new theme settings to style “product cards”, “blog cards” and “collection cards” separately. Prior to this update, all these components were styled with the cards’ theme settings. If you have previously updated the style of your cards, this update may cause visual changes to your product cards, blog cards, or collection cards. This can be modified by adjusting their styling in theme settings.
