Kingdom 6.2.0Copy Anchor Link

Released on 2026-09-24.

This update adds support for Shopify's product disclosures and standard customer events, and makes predictive search smarter with SKU, barcode, and tag matching.

Product disclosuresCopy Anchor Link

• Added support for Shopify's product disclosures, so required safety and regulatory notices — such as California Proposition 65 warnings or choking-hazard notices — appear in a dedicated section on the product page instead of being buried in the description.

See the Disclosures block on the Product page. Disclosures can also show in the cart: see Cart page.

Standard eventsCopy Anchor Link

• Added support for Shopify's standard customer events, giving you more accurate analytics and tracking across the shopping journey, from product views to add-to-cart and checkout.

This has no setting. See JavaScript events.

Search by SKU, barcode, and tagsCopy Anchor Link

• Predictive search now matches products by SKU, barcode, and tags, helping customers find what they need faster.

See Search by SKU, Search by barcode and Search by tag in Predictive search theme settings. All three are off by default.

Kingdom 6.1.3Copy Anchor Link

Released on 2026-04-23.

• Improved video autoplay in latest versions of Chrome (mobile).

This has no setting. See Video: background section.

Kingdom 6.1.2Copy Anchor Link

Released on 2026-03-10.

ImprovementsCopy Anchor Link

• Sale badge logic updated: products with varying prices across variants now show a generic "Sale" badge on collection pages instead of calculating discounts per variant. Product pages still display the exact discount for the selected variant. This change improves performance by avoiding heavy price calculations in product grids.
• Visual fix: fixed an issue with the account component icon being misplaced.

See Show discount as... in Product card theme settings. The generic badge text is "On Sale". The account icon is on the Sidebar section.

Kingdom 6.1.1Copy Anchor Link

Released on 2026-02-24.

HotfixCopy Anchor Link

• We've fixed an issue with complementary products not working after last update.

See the Complementary products block on the Product page.

Kingdom 6.1.0Copy Anchor Link

Released on 2026-02-20.

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.

See Customer account menu in the Sidebar section.

ImprovementsCopy Anchor Link

• Fixed an issue with the sidebar paddings on mobile devices (from 6.0.0).

Kingdom 6.0.0Copy Anchor Link

Released on 2026-01-26.

This update focuses on increased layout flexibility, smoother cart and product interactions, and important platform-level updates to keep Kingdom aligned with Shopify's evolving capabilities.

New flexible sectionsCopy Anchor Link

• Flex sections: added two new flexible grid sections that allow you to showcase promotions, galleries, or mixed media content in a more dynamic way. These sections are built using Shopify's new theme blocks system and include 10 configurable blocks, giving you granular control over layout, content, and presentation. The system is designed to adapt to different content types and layouts, making it easier to build visually rich pages without custom development.

See Flex cards section, Flex grid section, Cards and Blocks.

Cart & checkout improvementsCopy Anchor Link

• Discount codes in cart: customers can now apply discount codes directly in the cart, reducing friction before checkout.
• Expandable bundles: product bundles can be expanded directly in the cart, giving customers better visibility into bundled items.
• Terms & Conditions checkbox: added an optional checkbox to require customers to accept terms and conditions before proceeding to checkout.
• Shop Pay installment terms placement: moved the Shop Pay installment terms closer to the product price for improved discoverability.

See Enable cart discounts and Enable terms and conditions requirement for checkout in Cart theme settings, and the Price block on the Product page.

Product availability & engagementCopy Anchor Link

• Back in stock alerts: added a new product block that allows customers to leave their email address and receive notifications when out-of-stock products become available again.
• Localized unit prices: updated unit price rendering to use Shopify's unit_price_with_measurement filter, allowing unit prices to be automatically localized.

See the Back in stock alert block on the Product page. The form sends you an email; you notify the customer yourself when the product is back.

Collections & catalog scalingCopy Anchor Link

• Larger collection pages: added support for displaying over 200 products per page on collection pages.

See Products per page (up to 248) on the Collection page.

Platform & architecture updatesCopy Anchor Link

• Combined listings support (Shopify Plus): added support for combined listings for Shopify Plus merchants.
• Expanded variant limits: updated Kingdom to support Shopify's upcoming increase in variant limits (up to 2,000 variants per product).
• To support these changes, the product variant selector was reworked to use a mix of the Section Rendering API and vanilla JavaScript, with caching in place to maintain a smooth experience when switching variants. Combined listing options are treated as separate product pages, which means changing these options will trigger a full page refresh.

See the Variant picker block on the Product page.

General improvements & fixesCopy Anchor Link

• Improved accessibility: made accessibility improvements across the theme to improve usability for all customers.
• Bug fixes: fixed various bugs and edge cases to improve overall stability and reliability.
