Online Store 2.0 updates
Last week, the long-awaited Shopify Online Store 2.0 is finally live. This new version will help you customize your entire storefront design with sections on all pages, flexible content, and checkout extensions!
And we’re so excited to announce that GemPages works seamlessly with all the newly updated sections, blocks, and themes in OS 2.0.
Better still, more updates are on the way to help you get the most use out of the Online Store 2.0. Stay tuned!
Integrations
Wiser update
Installing and using Wiser used to be a two-time job: One for Custom pages and another for Product & Collection pages. So to make things a lot easier, we have combined the two elements into one Wiser – Personalized Recommendations, which can be used anywhere you prefer!
Have the freedom to select up to 9 types of product recommendations, from manual, automatic to AI-based. When placed in the desired section, your widget will automatically adjust its options to the page layout.
Head to the dashboard to experience the upgraded Wiser, and here are some guides to help you get started more easily.
Rivyo update
We’ve also combined the two elements of the Rivyo integration into one called Rivyo Product Reviews. Whenever you place it into a position, the widget will automatically change its options based on the page layout.
With 4 eye-catching widgets in-and-out of the Product Module, it’s time to take your site’s social proof to the next level.

Preload Font & Stylesheet
We’re excited to launch another page speed optimization feature: Preload Font & Stylesheet. Preload is a directive that signals the browser to request and load your pages’ important resources (in this case, font and stylesheet) beforehand, thus significantly increasing the page loading speed.
Skip the coding hassles and go straight to Account > Store Settings to enable the feature. Your site will thank you for that.
