Each one of our Shopify themes includes customizable sections for the home page. Naturally, this level of customization would also be ideal for pages such as the Product page, Collection page, or Cart page. Fortunately, Shopify's features are expanding to address this limitation.
Described by Shopify as "the biggest and boldest upgrade" to date, Online Store 2.0 allows merchants to enhance the content of individual pages—all without added apps or custom modifications to the theme files.
Online Store 2.0 Compatibility
The latest versions of Empire, Editions, Startup, and Grid are compatible with Online Store 2.0.
Update your theme, then try adding a section to the product page.
Which themes are compatible with Online Store 2.0?
Keep your theme up to date
The best way to prepare for this platform enhancement is to keep your theme up to date with the latest version. When the platform features become available, previous releases of the theme will not be fully compatible. Updating to the latest version will ensure optimal compatibility between theme and platform.
How to update your Shopify theme
Avoid editing theme files
Editing theme files is a common way to add custom content or adjust features. However, modifying theme files can lead to more obstacles when updating to the latest version.
One of the benefits of this platform-wide enhancement is that customizations will be much more accessible to merchants and costly modifications will be less frequent.
