Normcore 3.2.0 is built to empower the way shopper can find what they need. This release pairs a smarter, filterable header search with a new Compact Product Bundle section, so you can guide shoppers to the right product, and the right add-on in seconds, even across a catalog of thousands of SKUs. Layer in parallax scroll, animated text reveal, and a fresh collection slider, and this update strengthens your store's visual polish without slowing it down.
Highlight Features
Find Anything, Instantly: Header Search with Category Filtering
At scale, a plain search bar isn't enough. Shoppers searching across thousands of SKUs need a way to narrow down fast, or they'll bounce. The new Header Search block adds an optional category filter directly to the search experience, so shoppers can scope their results to the right department, collection, or product type before they even see a results page. Less scrolling, less second-guessing, more conversions.
Merchandise Smarter at Scale with Compact Product Bundles
Manually cross-merchandising products across a large catalog takes real time, and it's easy for great bundle opportunities to go unnoticed. The new Compact Product Bundle section lets you curate 2–4 products into one sellable bundle, with inline variant selection that keeps images and pricing in sync, a live bundle total with an automatic savings badge, and an optional discount code applied right at checkout. Add a countdown timer to create urgency, customize your add-to-cart text, and top it off with a banner that supports overlay text and parallax. One click adds the whole bundle to the cart. No extra steps for the shopper, no extra merchandising work for you.
Notable Additions & Improvements
Nav Badge: Add badges like “Sale” or “New” and highlight effects to header navigation items, including within tree-menu layouts - a quick way to surface what matters most in a large, multi-level menu.
Revealing Text: A new section animates headings and subheadings into view as shoppers scroll, with a configurable animation style - a simple way to draw attention to editorial or campaign content without building a whole new page template.
Collection List Slider: Showcase more of your catalog above the fold with a new swippable carousel for presenting collections, so shoppers can browse by category without clicking deep into your nav.
Image Parallax: A vertical, horizontal, or zoom parallax scroll effect is now available across Image Banner, Collection Banner, Blog Post Banner, Multi-media Banner, Image with Text, Content Collage, Map, Newsletter, and Custom Section. It runs on the compositor and respects shoppers' reduced-motion preferences, so your store gains visual depth without sacrificing the speed a large catalog depends on.
Age Verification: A new popup section for age-gating storefront access, with a customizable heading, message, confirm/deny buttons, and cookie persistence, so age-restricted catalogs stay compliant without extra apps.
Block Group: Inherit Color Scheme: Block groups can now inherit their parent section's color scheme instead of applying their own, cutting down on repetitive theme setup across a site with many sections.
Rebranding: Theme assets and component identifiers have been renamed from SalesHunterThemes to eComX, aligning Normcore with the rest of the eComX theme family.
