New cart options, product variant flexibility and speed improvements. Oh my!

If you are interested in trying out new features early in our beta program, fill out this form, and we will be in touch!

Direct to checkout for your "Add to Cart" button

We have added more functionality to our "Add to Cart" element. You will see a third option that will automatically reload the customer's page directly in the checkout flow to allow you to add "Quick Buy" functionality to your pages.

Sold out Product Variant flexibility

We have added a control within the Product Variant element to change the behavior if a variant is sold out. The options are "Hidden", "Shown but not selectable" and "Shown and selectable". This will help you better control the customer experience.

Slider improvements

Our slider element has gone through a tune up with 28 slide transitions and the ability to customize the color of the arrow.  

Column element alignment improvement

We fixed a bug where adding a column element with 5 columns would result in uneven widths by default. Now when you drag in a column element, all widths will be equal. In addition to that, you can now reset column widths using the new "Reset column width" button.

Speed improvements to Product Gallery element

We have changed how images are loaded within the Product Gallery element. This will make your pages load faster and improve their web performance score. 

Other improvements

  • Minor usability and accessibility improvements. 
  • Global snippet bug fixes around syncing global snippet and duplicating pages with global snippets.
