Header
Announcement bar
Show short, high-priority messages at the very top of every page — promotions, free-shipping offers, discount codes, or a countdown to a sale.
Header layout
Arrange the desktop header into Top and Bottom rows, and place each block in the left, center, or right column.
Sticky header
Keep the header in view as customers scroll, so they can navigate, search, or open the cart without scrolling back to the top.
Transparent header
Let the header sit directly on top of a full-width hero image or video, so the visual fills the screen while the navigation stays visible.
Mega menu
Turn a menu item's dropdown into a wider panel with extra submenu columns, image banners, or a product list.
Mega menu collection images and colors
Show a thumbnail image or a color swatch next to collection links in the mega menu, set per collection with metafields.
Mobile header
Set up the header shown on phones and small screens — its own blocks, layout, colors, and sticky behaviour, separate from the desktop header.
Products and bundles
Build your own bundle
Set up a "build your own bundle" experience with the Bundle builder section.
Create a product bundle
Sell a fixed set of products together with the Product bundle section. Customers add every item to the cart with one button and see the bundle total and savings.
Bundle includes
List the products inside a bundle on the bundle product's own page with the Bundle Includes block, so shoppers know exactly what's in the box.
Product page
Variant images
Show only the selected variant's images. Give each variant its own set of images and videos, and the gallery switches when a shopper picks a variant.
Back in stock alerts
Replace the Add to Cart button with a notify-me form on sold-out variants, so shoppers can leave their email and hear when the product is back.
Video reviews
Show customer review videos on the product page. Each product reads its own videos from a metafield, and tapping one opens a full-screen shoppable reel.
Cart
Free shipping bar
Show shoppers how close they are to free shipping. The bar fills and the message updates whenever the cart changes.
Change variants in the cart
Let shoppers change a cart item's variant or quantity with Quick edit, without leaving the cart.
Share a cart with a link
Let customers send their cart to someone else with a single link. Every product, variant, and quantity is added to the recipient's cart.
