After carefully reviewing multiple themes we finally narrowed down our choices to 5 themes. We decided to go with Ignite because it offers the greatest flexibility in adapting to our existing design language. We are extremely happy with our choice and we have never looked back. Ignite has been able to handle everything we throw at it. I cannot stress enough how amazing the support is 💯!

Version 1.5.0 April 21, 2025

We've added a new Nutri-Score block for food stores and the Score block for everyone else. We've also added a few new icons, some SEO & accessibility enhancements and some bug fixes.

New

  • Added a new Nutri-Score block to the Product page - particularly useful for any food stores.
  • Added a new Score block to the Product page. This can be used to custom scores of products for different properties, e.g. Waterproof 3/5, Windproof 5/5 etc.
  • Added four new icons in various sections:
    • Digital / Plus
    • Food & Beverage / Egg
    • Other / Horizontal line
    • Trust / Check mark
  • The little add to cart icons on product cards can now simply be + symbols. Enable this in Theme Settings > Product cards > Always use + as the add to cart icon.
  • Multicolumn and Testimonials sections now have additional settings to set an H2/H3/H4 per block.
  • Email signup section now has a setting to turn off the background image.
  • Added a new style for a Food-based demo.

Changed

  • If the Announcement bar section only contains announcements, the text will now automatically centralize on desktop.
  • The on_sale_value translation key (in products.product) has been renamed to on_sale_value_html to allow for HTML escaping.
  • The Header menu will now take up less space if it's the same color as the bar above it.
  • Add to cart icons on stacked mini product cards are now the primary button rather than the secondary.

Fixes and Improvements

  • General accessibility improvements.
  • Fixed a Product page issue where some apps can show too wide on mobile.
  • Image quality within the Slideshow and Image banner sections has been improved.
  • Fixed an iOS bug with the display of article card images when they're set to show as 'Original' shape.
  • Fixed a bug with the display of the add to cart notification popup.

Version 1.4.0 April 3, 2025

Text just got funkier, popups just got smarter, and Ignite just got a whole lot faster.

New

  • Text just got funkier
    • We've added fun new text effects to many of the Heading blocks on the theme. Check out Accent color, Outline (may not work with all fonts), and Glow among others!
    • Introduced an Accent color into color schemes to support these new effects.
    • A funky new text effect now allows you to animate through words by enclosing them in square brackets, e.g., We deliver exceptional [products|service|value].
  • Popups just got smarter Learn more
    • Popups can now appear when a user is about to exit the store (desktop only).
    • Popups can now trigger when a user copies text to the clipboard. For example, you could show a "You won't find it cheaper!" message.
    • Popups can now show when a link is clicked. Set the popup's ID and set the URL of any link to # followed by the popup ID.
    • The buttons within the Buttons block can now close the popup.
    • Popup and Alert sections now feature an option to change the color of the close icon (the X) to stand out against any background images.
  • Product page updates
    • A new Product group block is now available on the Product page. Group products together and display them as thumbnails in a variant-picker style. This allows for seamless switching between product colors or variations (similar to the Shopify Combined Listings app).
    • The Table block on the Product page now has a setting to hide rows when Cell 2 is empty - perfect for metafield usage.
    • The Table and Collapsible row blocks now have a setting for a custom icon and settings to control border visibility.
    • Added a Barcode block to display a variant's barcode (ISBN, UPC, etc.).
    • The Description block now has a text size setting.
  • The Header search bar can now always be displayed on mobile to improve conversions. You can enable this in Header section > Search > Always show search bar on mobile.
  • You can now add a custom payment icon under Theme Settings > Extras > Custom payment icon.
  • The Image with collapsible rows and Collapsible content sections now have settings to control H2 tags, improving SEO.

Changed

  • Important: The text controls for Table blocks on the Product page now offer additional settings (e.g., bold, links). This may cause a red error to appear in the Theme Editor when saving the product page. To resolve this, click into each Table block, make a small change (such as adding a period or space), and click Save. Learn more
  • Optimized the appearance of the Quick filter section dropdowns.
  • Items in the cart/cart drawer now display their original price where applicable to boost conversions.
  • Optimized the display of Notifications message blocks on the product page.

Fixes and Improvements

  • We've made significant under-the-cover improvements to make Ignite faster. JavaScript is now only loaded when needed, and the critical CSS file is now more lightweight.
  • Several SEO improvements, especially with the H tag hierarchy on collection pages.
  • Various accessibility improvements.
  • Fixed a color issue with featured blog cards when excerpts are long.
  • Fixed alignment issues with Highlight badges on product cards when text is centered.
  • Fixed an issue in the Image Banner section where clickable images with links weren't working on mobile in certain cases.
  • Fixed an issue on the product page where the 'Sticky add to cart' button was placed under the Hotspots section.
  • Fixed an issue with wide tables on the product page on mobile.
  • Fixed an issue where Inline Promotions on collection pages didn't display on mobile when 1-column width product cards were used.
  • Fixed an inventory issue which can occur if the first variant on the page has no inventory management associated with it.

  • New preset: We've added a new preset for a 'Hardware' demo.
