New on Shopfront: January & February 2025

Welcome to what’s new on Shopfront for January & February 2025. We’ve got a bunch of improvements, page redesigns and of course squashed some bugs!

Note: Some of these changes are gradually rolling out to stores, some of the changes may not be received in your store for a couple of weeks.

Major Features

Product Edit Field Pinning

As part of the new product UI, we’ve now created a field pinning feature which allows you to pick and choose the fields you use most and not worry about the rest (you can still access them in other tabs).

To get started, enable the new product UI and press the star button to the right of whatever field you’d like to favourite, these will then be visible in the Starred tab.

Field pins are saved per-user so each person can customise it to their liking.
