Shine 3.2.0: AI-Generated Custom Sections & High-Variant Product Support

Written by eComX support

Shine 3.2.0 is built to help your brand tell a richer story while carrying more of your catalog than ever before. This release introduces powerful custom sections for building on-brand layouts, native support for high-variant products so your full shade and scent range can live on a single page, and a long list of polish across cart, search, and product presentation.

Highlight Features

Build On-Brand Sections with Custom Blocks, Compatible with Shopify's AI-Generated Sections

Shine 3.2.0 introduces a new Custom Section that gives you an open canvas to design something truly your own, anywhere on your pages, instead of being limited to fixed, pre-built layouts. This Custom Section also works with Shopify's AI-generated section feature in the Theme Editor: describe the section you want, and Shopify's AI builds a starting version for you to refine, rather than you having to design it from a blank canvas. Use it to spin up beautiful product layouts or product ingredient highlights without needing a designer or developer for every request.

Showcase Your Full Range — Every Shade, Every Scent, Every Size

Beauty and wellness catalogs live and die by choice - a dozen shades of foundation, a full line of scent profiles, size options for every ritual. Shopify recently raised its long-standing cap of 100 variants per product to as many as 2,000, so a single product can now hold every shade-size-formulation combination you sell (still within 3 option categories, like Shade, Size, and Formulation). That's exactly the kind of catalog beauty and wellness brands run into most, and it used to force you to split one product line into several separate listings just to fit the old limit. Shine 3.2.0 has been rebuilt to support these high-variant products, so your full range can live on a single, cohesive product page - with a picker that stays fast and usable no matter how many options a shopper is choosing between.

Notable Additions & Improvements

  • Discount codes, right in the cart: Shoppers can now see and apply discount codes directly within the cart, removing a point of friction right before checkout and reinforcing the feeling of a considered, trustworthy buying experience.

  • A newsletter experience worthy of your community: The newsletter form has been enhanced, making it easier to invite shoppers into your brand's inner circle - first looks at launches, restocks, and rituals - right from the storefront.

  • Grid overlay for Content Collage: A new grid overlay option helps you precisely place images and content within the Content Collage section, so every mood board, routine breakdown, or campaign layout lands exactly where you intend it to.

  • More visible Product Complementary carousel: Slide visibility has been improved for the Product Complementary section on the product page, making it easier for shoppers to discover the rest of the ritual — the serum that pairs with the cleanser, the candle that completes the set.

  • Smoother search, right when shoppers need it: Search bar interaction and popup display behavior have been refined, so finding a favorite product or discovering something new feels immediate and effortless.

  • Cleaner, more consistent product cards: Content alignment within product cards has been refined for visual consistency across your entire catalog, keeping every collection page polished and on-brand.

  • Better defaults for Multiple Product Tabs: Default content placeholders in the Multiple Product Tabs section have been updated, so your product pages look considered and complete from the moment you add products — even before you've written custom tab copy.

Bug Fixes & Under-the-Hood

  • Improved padding and spacing throughout the theme for a cleaner, more consistent layout

  • Improved media loading for faster, smoother storefront performance
