Athora Shopify theme

Version 3.0 brings a new Promo popup layout, more ways to show product options, prices and badges, smoother filtering, and better Products story videos. Important: the Promo popup content now uses blocks, so please set it up again after updating.

Added

• Products story: New "When in view" video autoplay, a "Show sound button", and "Mobile auto scroll" with a pause and play button.
• Promo popup: New layout that shows a product list or your own content on the right side, a new "Promo popup: exit" preset, and a small minimal popup that stays at the side of the page.
• Product cards: "Additional options" shows a second option, such as size, under the price. "Show badges below image on mobile" keeps badges off the image on phones.
• Prices: "Products with several prices" lets you show the lowest or the highest price for products with different variant prices.
• Product page, Featured product and Quick view: "Show sale badge" for the Price block, and "Navigation style" for the Product media arrows.
• Cart drawer and Cart page: The promotion bar can now stay still instead of scrolling, and you can choose or upload its icon. The cart drawer also has a "Width" option.
• Collection page and Search page: "Open sidebar by default" for the filter sidebar, and options to choose which sort options visitors see.
• Gallery: "Speed" and "Mobile speed" options for auto scroll.
• Password page: "Logo position" option, and new Text and Image blocks.
• Custom liquid: "Update on variant change" option, so your scripts and apps keep working after visitors pick another variant.

Changed

• Important: Reduced motion: For visitors who turned on "reduce motion" on their device, videos and slideshows no longer play on their own, and decorative moving effects are turned off.
• Collection page and Search page: Filtering is quicker and smoother, the filter drawer stays open while visitors pick filters, and the page no longer jumps when results are already on screen. Filtering and sorting settings are now in separate groups.
• Scrolling collections: The heading stays readable before the cards slide over it. On tablets, visitors now swipe through the cards.
• Disclosures: Each product disclosure now shows only to visitors in the country or region it applies to.

Removed

• Important: Promo popup: The heading, text, coupon code, button and content position settings were removed from the section. Popup content is now built with blocks. After updating, open the Promo popup section and add your content again.
