The theme itself is very well built and the dev team is very proactive in fixing any issues we ran into.

Although I loved the asthetic, I wasn't sure that this was the right theme for my niche. I was contacted by Gideon who walked me through the pros and cons of each theme available. It was definately a learning experience. Now I am not only happy with the asthetic but confident in this themes ability to sell my product.

I have been told by the dev team about an update of the theme version since August. Asked four times and given a date but it has been delayed every time. I don't know what is going on.

The new OS2 version is out! I am sorry it took longer than expected. We did a full rebuild from the ground up, focused on speed and mobile design. We added an all new cart, upsell functionality, new header designs, and advanced collection filtering on top of the OS2 release with mobile and speed improvements. I hope it's working well for you!

Version 3.0.0 March 15, 2022

Version 3.0.0 adds support for popup announcements, upselling products with multiple variants, announcement bars in the header toolbar, and announcements in the cart.

Added

  • We have added all the latest and greatest features related to popups. Story now has newsletter popups, standard announcements, and cookie warnings which are integrated with Shopify's compliance APIs. Our marketing popups can be triggered by timers, scroll position, or fired immediately.
  • We added an announcement bar in the header, an overdue feature that required some planning around a new design which also allows for currency/country/language switchers in the header toolbar.
  • We have added a press section and an icons section to help you market your brand.
  • We added more detailed starter content to the FAQ and contact pages to help you get started faster.
  • We added new block types to the product form, including icons and trust badges.

Changed

  • Story has an updated aesthetic that uses rounded corners and clean typography to breathe new life into the Story theme.
  • We cleaned up all our sliders to look consistent and clean across the theme
  • We changed the filters toolbar on mobile to have sticky buttons for "sort" and "filter".
  • We changed the variant upsell feature interaction for products with multiple variants. In V2 this feature would add the default variant to the cart. Now, if the upsell product has variants, a popup will open to allow customers to choose a variant.

Fixes and other improvements

  • Changes text settings to richtext where possible to allow for bold and italic text
  • Fixed spacing on mobile slideshows
