What’s new in October–November 2025 for the Embed Widget

Smoother embeds. Smarter interactions. Seamless theme support.

Over the past two months, we’ve rolled out several updates to make the BYOB embed widget faster, cleaner, and more adaptable to different storefronts. These improvements enhance the shopping experience for customers and simplify bundle management for merchants.

1. Smoother user experience

We’ve refined the way content loads inside the embed widget. Skeleton loaders now appear while quickview thumbnails are loading, reducing flicker and improving perceived speed.

Additionally, when customers interact with bundle rules or remove items, the interface responds more intuitively — automatically scrolling or opening the relevant product section.

2. Better theme compatibility

We strengthened compatibility with popular Shopify themes, ensuring the embed widget looks and behaves consistently even when themes reset global CSS styles.

Our styling updates also ensure smoother integration with cart drawers and third-party theme layouts — no more broken layouts or missing buttons.

3. Enhanced navigation

The product grid within the widget now supports easy navigation between product sets. Customers can navigate between product pages more naturally, making large collections easier to browse.

At the same time, the performance can be balanced while Shopify upgrades to 2,000 variants per product.

4. More flexible BYOB Mini widget

For merchants using the Mini version of the embed widget, we’ve introduced a new custom-note pop-up that matches your brand styling automatically. You can request customer input for gift wrap, engraving, or other personalization options for your bundles.

5. Expanded scalability

We’ve increased the supported product variant limit, allowing bundles to handle larger catalogs without performance drops. This ensures a smoother experience even for stores with extensive inventories.

Why these updates matter

These changes make the embed widget feel faster, more intuitive, and more dependable — especially for non-technical merchants.

• The improved UI and navigation flow reduce friction for customers.
• Enhanced theme compatibility saves setup time and minimizes layout issues.
• The Mini widget upgrades offer better flexibility for small, space-limited embed placements.
• Larger stores can now manage complex product bundles with ease.
