BuildMyPOD 2.0 release notes

Built for Meta ads carousels. When your ad links to a collection page, you can now make the exact product the shopper clicked appear first in that collection — with the right variant image. Shoppers land on the page and immediately see the product from the ad.

Add ?first=your-product-handle&variant=12345 to the collection link in your ad. The feature is on by default and does nothing unless the link carries the parameter. For the full Meta Ads walkthrough, see the curated-first setup guide.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Curated first

Configure labels once and they appear on every product card and product page. Everything ships turned off — turn on the master switch, then the label types you want:

• Sale label — plain text (the shipped format), percent off, or amount off, calculated from the product's prices.
• New in — mark recent products automatically by publish date (for example, the last 30 days), by a product tag, or by collection.
• Tag labels — show labels such as TRENDING or BEST SELLER on products that carry those tags. Off by default; only the tags you allowlist are shown.

Label colors follow your store's color palette, so a niche re-theme carries the labels with it.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Product labels

When larger sizes cost more, the card can show "From $29.99" instead of just "$29.99", so shoppers are not surprised at checkout. The sale price and the crossed-out compare-at price stay visible. On by default.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Product cards → Price

Style every product card in the store from a single place: the card wrapper, the image, the title, the price, and the color swatches. Each card block on any page has a "Use global card style" switch — leave it on and the block follows the global settings; turn it off to style that one page differently.

Set it up once, and the home page, collection pages, and search results all match.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Product cards

The quick search popup now renders its product results with the same global card style as the rest of the store, so search stops looking like a different theme. The quick-add button was removed from the popup for a cleaner, faster list.

Choose what happens when a shopper hovers a product card: Zoom (default), Second image, Next variant (shows the next color of the design), or None.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Product cards → Media

Color swatches now work out of the box — no Globo app, no manual color connections in the admin. The theme ships with the real colors of the standard Printify blanks (Bella+Canvas 3001, Gildan 5000, Gildan 64000, Comfort Colors 1717 — 241 colors in total), so products created by BuildMyPOD or Printify show correct swatches automatically.

This also removes the old problem where connected color entries blocked Printify from updating products. Want a different shade? Override any color with one line: White:#F4F4F4.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Swatches

Shoppers complained that the first available size was always preselected — and some bought the wrong size without noticing. Now the product page starts with no size selected. If a shopper taps "Add to cart" without choosing one, the button itself reacts: it turns red, reads "Please select a size", and shakes on every blocked tap. The chosen size also stays selected after a page reload. On by default; turn it off to bring back auto-selection.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Size

A new option on the product gallery shows only the images that belong to the selected variant, so shoppers don't scroll past every other color's mockups. There is also a separate option to hide unselected variants' media (ships off). The strict option ships turned on in the product template.

Where: Product template → Product media gallery block

A new "Auto-fit title to one line" option on the product page title shrinks titles of up to 48 characters so they fit on a single line; longer titles wrap normally. The title also gets its own mobile font size.

Where: Product template → Title block

A new panel sets the background and text colors of the store's three buy buttons — Add to cart, Buy now, and Checkout — in one place. Branded wallet buttons such as Shop Pay keep their provider branding.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: CTA buttons

Size buttons are more compact on mobile, so a full size run (S through 4XL) fits on a single row on a standard phone screen instead of wrapping. Desktop is unchanged.

The size guide is now configured right on the product template, next to the charts it controls: add the BMP: Size guide block, then one image chart per product type. A chart with an empty product type acts as the default, so no product ever opens an empty size guide. The editor now warns you in place when something is missing, instead of failing silently.

Where: Product template → BMP: Size guide block

The Hero and Slideshow sections have a new option in their Height setting: "Adapt to image". The banner sizes itself to the uploaded image's proportions instead of cropping it into a fixed height. On the slideshow, "Adapt to first image" sizes every slide from the first slide's image, so the banner doesn't jump between slides.

Where: Hero / Slideshow section → Height

The header menu's Submenu size option (Small / Medium / Large) now sets one font size for every submenu level — hierarchy is carried by color and indent instead of shrinking text. The menu also ships with cleaner default typography (14px body style).

Where: Header → Menu block → Submenu size

The theme's translations now also cover Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu.

The trust badge block now accepts a custom uploaded image. It replaces the built-in icon and displays at the same size, so your layout never shifts. Pick one of the built-in icons or upload your own.

Where: Add block → BMP: Brand icon

The announcement bar countdown now has a switch to remove the whole announcement from the rotation when the timer reaches zero — no more expired "ends today!" messages. Off, and only the timer disappears, as before.

Where: Header → Announcement bar → Announcement

Both features carry over from 1.1.5. Up to five rotating messages at the bottom of the cart drawer (up from four in 1.1.5), with a configurable rotation speed — now rebuilt on the theme's own components, so they load faster and behave consistently. The shipping bar ships turned on with a $75 goal, and the announcements ship with one message pre-filled ("30 Day Guarantee & Free Size Exchanges").

Where: Theme settings → BMP: Cart drawer announcements / BMP: Free shipping bar

Requested by the community: the theme now tells search engines more about your store.

• Add your social profile links (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok) and the theme includes them in your store's search-engine data.
• The home page is now eligible for Google's sitelinks search box.
• Page headings were restructured so every page has a proper title hierarchy — product pages and blog listings previously had none, which hurt rankings.

Where: Theme settings → BMP: SEO

• Announcement bar arrows now work correctly.
• Frozen pages on Android: closing the cart drawer (or any popup) with the phone's back button left the page stuck and unscrollable. Fixed for every drawer and popup.
• Facebook / Instagram in-app browser freezes are addressed by the new core plus theme-level work.
• Cart drawer staying open on desktop: once opened, the drawer re-opened on every page you navigated to. It now closes and stays closed; opening on add-to-cart is unchanged.
• Cart drawer stealing keyboard focus on desktop: opening the drawer pulled keyboard focus away from the page, which closed open header menus. Focus now stays where the shopper is.
• Size choice unselecting itself: the picked size no longer resets a moment after the click, and the cart receives the size the shopper actually picked.
• Invisible size buttons on some color palettes are fixed.
• Blog and product page headings render as real headings again, which search engines require.

• Floating Add to Cart bar → the new core's native sticky add to cart on product pages.
• Mobile product header above the gallery (truncated title + price pinned on phones) → the title auto-fit and per-device title size.
• Metafield-driven discount label → the Sale label, calculated from prices — no metafields, so Printify publishing is never blocked.
• "Product Badge" text block (TRENDING / BEST SELLER pills on the product page) → Tag labels in the labels panel.
• ~84-setting buy-button block → near-stock buy buttons plus the six-color BMP: CTA buttons panel.
• Cart-drawer checkout button customization (label, icon, weight, radius, border color) → only the checkout colors survive, in the same CTA panel.
• Custom numbered pagination + products per page → the core's native products-per-page, pagination, and optional infinite scroll.
• Custom mega menu → a new compact dropdown card with collapsible sub-groups.
• Social media links wrapper block → the standard social-links block.
• "Use custom font" override (Inter only) → the standard font picker with Shopify's full font library.

• Order/delivery estimate timeline ("Order placed → Shipped → Delivered") on product and collection pages.
• Collection tabs (tabbed collection browsing).
• Breadcrumbs on product and collection pages.
• Decorative wave/diagonal section dividers — only the standard plain divider remains.
• "About Brand" section and the custom "Product Features" / details-accordion sections — standard sections and accordion blocks cover these layouts.
• "Shipping Notice" block ("Shipping calculated at checkout" with a policy link).
• Collection links as buttons — only the standard collection-links section remains.
• Per-block device visibility — showing/hiding per device now works at the section level only.
• Button font-weight and carousel arrow color settings — the button weight is now part of the theme's design, not a setting.
• Styling sub-settings inside kept features — swatch border colors, cart-announcement color and size options, the shipping bar's icon options, countdown label typography. The rebuilt features use the theme's standard styling instead.

• New sections: Carousel, Featured product, Quick order list, Product hotspots, plus a Comparison slider block.
• Sticky add-to-cart on product pages.
• Volume pricing and quantity rules on product pages, plus a new SKU block.
• Optional infinite scroll on collection grids.
• Mobile-specific media and layout for the Hero section.
• Product disclosures block and inline disclosure tooltips in the cart.

• Color palettes replace the old color schemes: pick your colors once in Theme settings and they apply across the whole theme — ideal for re-theming a store to a niche in minutes.
• Several dedicated performance rounds: smaller stylesheets, faster page loads and interactions, and smarter behavior on low-powered phones.
• Dozens of accessibility improvements across menus, dialogs, search, cart, and forms.
• Many fixes across the header, filters, slideshows, quick add, gift cards, and the cart drawer — including Safari- and iOS-specific issues.
