Borders 2.2.0Copy Anchor Link

Released on the Shopify Theme Store on 2026-03-05.

New account sign-inCopy Anchor Link

• "We've adopted Shopify's new unified account component. Customers now get a persistent account icon in the header that opens a sign-in sheet with login options and a dedicated menu. This helps drive more sign-ins and unlocks personalised shopping experiences for your customers."
  • "Note: sidebar account links have been removed as part of this change."
  • In the theme editor: Show account and Customer account menu in the Header section. The Navigation drawer no longer has an account link. See Header section and Navigation drawer section.

Pricing and purchase engagementCopy Anchor Link

• Sale badge logic updated: "Products with varying prices across variants now show a generic "Sale" badge instead of calculating per-variant discounts on collection pages. PDP badges continue to show the exact discount for the selected variant. This improves rendering performance by avoiding per-variant price comparisons on product grids." See Product card theme settings.
• Localized unit prices: "Updated unit price rendering to use Shopify's unit_price_with_measurement filter, allowing unit prices to be automatically localized." This has no setting.
