This update brings some important and powerful enhancements. We now support Shopify’s combined listings, which let you keep products separate in your catalog while grouping them like variants on the product page — giving your store the appearance of a larger, more flexible inventory without compromising control. Infinite scroll and load more options make collection browsing faster and more seamless, especially on mobile. We’ve also lifted the product variant limit to over 2,000 variants, making room for even the most complex product setups. And with 18 new language translations added, your storefront is now more accessible than ever to a global audience.
