I am totally satisfied with this theme. Well matched with black-white colouring, anonymous-pro font looks artistic and mobile responsive. I am using at my website https://areaberlin.com, check and see the results.

Hi... I was sure I know something about how to create a website ... at least basics. But I can not do 2 simple modifications: 1. can not add payment with credit cards (it is active in my payment options) - I just see paypal and can not add another payment option 2. when I add new section - I can not change order between them - it is very much frustraiting

Hey there, it's possible that your payment icons are not showing if you are using a third party payment provider. This is something that we can help with, just reach out to our Support (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA) so that we can take a closer look. We can also help you on how to rearrange sections in the theme editor, here is a help document that explains this too (https://bit.ly/45nccjz).

Fantastic theme with more features than you might need. Easy to modify and looks great! Could use some more flexibility with how videos appear on the page. Parallax options for blocks/photos would also be nice.

Reply from Shopify Jan 02, 2023

Hi, happy new year! Thanks for this review, glad to hear the theme is working for you. You might be able to leverage the Collage section for more video options, but we'd love to hear your suggestions more in-depth. Please feel free to reach out with your feedback and a Support Advisor will be happy to capture it for our engineers (https://bit.ly/2AWw5VA)

Easy to use, lots of options, nice layouts. I find it frustrating though that there is no 'delivery instructions' box that I can enable in the checkout section. It's not built into the theme. This is extremely important to us - we send perishable food items out and need to make it easy for customers to leave notes re: safe place for leaving packages.

Reply from Shopify Jun 09, 2022

Hello, thanks for using Taste and for submitting a review! If you are using the Local Delivery feature, the customer has the option to leave Delivery Instructions during the Shipping stage of checkout (https://bit.ly/3Qc9jve). If you don't see this option, make sure Local Delivery is enabled and that your address is within delivery range

Version 12.0.0 October 31, 2023

Taste 12.0.0 introduces additional customization options by adding color scheme pickers to new areas, and new ways to visually display product filters. It also introduces some performance improvements related to image loading.

Added

  • Important: If you use a gradient as a main background, the look of your cart drawer and product modal (quick add) will be affected.
  • You can now select a color scheme for the Image with text section, Collection template (Product grid section), Product information section, Cart drawer, and Cart page.

Changed

  • If you are using the Search & Discovery app, you can now change the logical operator for facet filter values between OR and AND.
  • If you are using the Search & Discovery app, you can now choose to apply a swatch visual style for certain filter types (references to metaobjects).

Fixes and improvements

  • We fixed an issue with facet filters that affected currencies that use comma separators.
  • We fixed a formatting issue with metadata that is used for SEO purposes.
  • We fixed a visual bug that was affecting the collage section.

  • We’ve improved the experience of adding items to cart on slower connections.
  • We fixed a styling issue affecting collections in empty cart drawers.
  • We fixed an issue in the Slideshow section where the next slide flashes before coming into view.

  • We fixed an issue affecting Quick order list on iOS, removing the need to double tap the info icon to open it.

Removed

  • You can now apply the outline button style to the button on Image with text.
  • You can now adjust the bottom padding on the Subtotal section in the cart.

  • Customers who qualify for volume pricing will now see the different price breaks on your product pages.

Changed

  • You can now choose to auto rotate the Announcement bar slides every 3 seconds. The minimum was previously 5 seconds.
  • Your mobile menu drawer will now appear full-width.
  • The Featured collection section will now display placeholder product images until a collection is selected.

Fixes and improvements

  • We fixed a bug where text links were not styled properly in the heading of the Related products section.
  • We made light stylistic improvements to link styles, alignment and spacing for both the dropdown and mega menu types in the Header.
  • We fixed a bug where the Footer would display extra white space when the “Show email signup” setting was left unchecked.

Version 10.0.0 June 7, 2023

Taste 10.0.0 introduces new color schemes, animation options across templates and sections, performance improvements for large images, an improved announcement bar, and the ability to change the shape of product cards images.

Added

  • Important: Fade in animations will now be enabled by default on your theme. If you’d like to disable them, navigate to your theme settings → animations → uncheck “Reveal sections on scroll”.
  • Important: We’ve introduced a new visual way of setting your theme's colors. In your theme settings, you can now configure 5+ color schemes and apply them across sections in your themes. The default colors are created based on your theme’s current color settings, but we recommend reviewing them before publishing.

  • We introduced new placeholder images across all theme sections.

Fixes and improvements

  • We fixed some spacing issues in the mobile drawer.
  • We improved the performance of the Collage section images.
  • We fixed some accessibility issues with the language and currency picker in the mobile drawer.
