Flexi – Banner Mosaic
Arrange multiple banners in a dynamic mosaic grid, giving you creative freedom to showcase products, collections, or brand imagery in visually striking compositions.
Flexi – Features
Present your brand’s key selling points or product features in a structured, customizable layout designed to communicate value quickly.
New mega menu style
The Header section now includes a Vertical tabs mega menu option, offering a modern navigation experience that lets customers browse categories through an intuitive tabbed layout.
Enhanced section capabilities
Collection tabs and Tabbed collection lists sections now support image-based tabs alongside text, with an auto-rotate option for hands-free browsing.
Main and Featured product sections add a setting to disable variant and option preselection, giving customers a cleaner starting point.
Banner list section gains a full-width setting for edge-to-edge layouts.
Scrolling elements now include a direction setting for greater animation control.
Filters section supports additional collections, allowing up to 100 filter values.
Sections with overlay settings now accept either a gradient or a solid color for more versatile styling.
Cart template now displays store credits.
Product cards can now show metafield data directly on the card through a new theme setting.
Section renaming
To better reflect the growing Flexi family of sections, Link index has been renamed to Flexi – Link index and Contact form to Flexi – Contact form.
