Prestige

Improved

• We have improved support for Shopify Function validations. If you have cart rules enabled, the error messages will now appear in the cart.

Added

• You can now add app blocks in the Footer section. This make it easier to use apps like Shopify Forms to embed custom form in the footer. Please note though that most apps are not meant to be embedded in the footer, it is therefore the merchant's responsability to judge which apps make sense to be embedded in a footer context.
• You can now choose a new "portrait (4:5)" aspect ratio for cropping product card images (in addition to the existing natural, square, short and tall aspect ratios). This new ratio offers a ratio between the square and tall ratios.

Changed

• On January 2025, Shopify will deprecate a lot of fonts. As a consequence of this change, themes are required to no longer use deprecated fonts. All our presets were using fonts that are now deprecated, so we replaced them by other fonts. Merchants who are using a deprecated font will be notified by Shopify and have a recommended alternative.

Fixed

• Fixed a very rare issue that could happen on iOS with the "Hide header on scroll" setting enabled, when scrolling aggressively with a lot of consecutive up and down scrolls in intervals of less than 150ms. While we don't believe this is a real-life use case and should not impact a lot of customers, one merchant had this unusual scrolling pattern, so it should no longer happen.
• Fixed an edge case where connecting product metafield to the recently viewed products section would not work correctly.
• Fixed an issue with the "Image with text block" section impacting Safari 14. Please note that Safari 14 is an extremely old version of Safari, and we plan to remove support for this browser later next year. Merchants still using outdated browsers are encouraged to upgrade.
• Fixed an issue in the "Tabs" section where the theme would choose inline content over page content if both were specified (which is the opposite behavior of what was documented in the theme settings). From this version, if both page content and inline content are specified, page content will have the priority.
• Fixed a regression introduced in Prestige 10.0.0 that could cause, under rare circumstances and a very specific combination of settings, the transparent header to not work properly when the search would be open.

Added

• Blog post will now show the author's bio, profile picture and website if those information has been filled by the store owner.

Improved

• When using combined listings (for Shopify Plus only), the theme will now show secondary images associated to the combined product
  on product cards when using swatches.
• Color swatches on product card have been improved. From this version, the theme will display color swatches if a product option
  is connected to native color swatches, even if this option has a name that is not "Color" (such as "Fabric", "Material",...). This
  improvement should make it easier for merchants to setup the theme.

Fixed

• Fixed a regression introduced in version 10.3.0 that caused the "Tabs" section to no longer showing content coming from pages.
• Fixed a RTL issue where filters in collection pages would overlap the dot when active.
• Fixed an edge case that could result in mega-menu not always showing when moving the mouse extremely fast between two menu items.
• Fixed an issue where the product price would not be updated correctly on product pages if the product contained multiple variants
  with different prices but that all the variants are sold out.
• Fixed an issue that could cause product pages to do unwanted scroll when using "dropdown" setting for product options with more than 12
  values.

Added

• We have added support for quantity rules and quantity breaks. Those features are only available on B2B channel for Shopify Plus merchants. You can learn more about this feature on Shopify B2B documentation. To show a volume pricing, add the new "Volume pricing" block on your product pages.
• We have added a new setting in the header menu allowing to choose the menu's font between the heading font (default) and body font.
• We have added a new "Liquid code" block type for the "Tabs" section. This new block allows you to create advanced customizations by using Liquid code as the tab content.

Fixed

• Fixed a rare timing issue on mega-menu where the mega-menu would not always be visible if the user is quickly moving the mouse cursor outside the header and back to the header faster than 150 milliseconds.
• Fixed an issue where the product card image would not change when changing the swatch when the "Show secondary image on hover" setting would be disabled.
• Fixed an accessibility issue where filters on collection pages would not have a visible focus state, making them harder to select using a keyboard.
• Fixed an accessibility issue where the focus would not be restored to the add to cart button upon closing the cart drawer.
• Fixed an extremely rare issue where the countdown timer could, on a random way, overlap the header when positioned immediately after the header section, when merchants have configured a web pixel in Shopify admin.
• Fixed a bug where a mega-menu whose first level link would link to a hash link would cause the mega-menu to close on click and be stuck in a close state.

Improved

• Language and country selectors accessibility have been improved. The buttons will now annonce "Change language" and "Change country" (respectively) to screenreaders.
• Accessibility has been improved for color swatches showing on product card (a legend describing the type of options has been added).
• Some more minor accessibility improvements.

Removed

• The "Show page transition" setting has been removed from the theme. Historically, our theme Prestige had a setting to add a fade-in fade-out effect when changing pages. Such effect was adding an artificial delay, which caused a big increase of LCP, one of the more important performance metric tracked by Google. A few months ago, we have decided to turn off the setting by default. However, some merchants were still enabling the setting (or upgrading from an older version where the setting was enabled), not realizing the potential performance impact. In order to protect our merchants from inadvertendly impacting their store performance, and considering the importance of performance metrics in 2024, we have decided to fully remove this effect and prioritizing performance.
