The new standard of storefront theme development is Dawn. It is 35% quicker than the previously used default theme – Debut. So now, who does not want their online web store to run faster? EVERYONE.

Ideally, the loading time of any website should not be more than two seconds. In case it increases from one to three seconds, there is a probability of the bounce rate increases by 30%.

Hence, if you are an online retailer on the older version of Shopify or any other E-Commerce platform, make the switch to Shopify 2.0 right now with our help. Using the functionalities and features added to this new version, we will launch your quick-loading online web store.

2. New Themes With Sections On Every Page

The sections on the pages of Shopify web stores have always been customizable blocks or areas providing retailers the flexibility to design pages. Previously, in the 1.0 version, all such blocks were only available on the homepage of Shopify Stores. However, now in 2.0, they are available throughout the web store and give retailers flexibility all over.

Now, you must be thinking about what this will mean for you as a retailer. Let the team of Shopify Experts at Xcentric make it all work for your online web store by creating collection sections, adding promotional banners, and improving the UX with other tweaks.

4. Modular Application Block Equal Enhanced Configuration

In version 1.0, the results of Shopify App Development were not flexible. Considering that there are hundreds of great applications available, even after integrating a few, there was a lot to be desired in a web store. While some of them could now be deployed well, others did not meet all the needs.

Now that the Shopify 2.0 version is launched, the E-Commerce giant has delivered all these applications on page blocks. In simpler words, this means that a Shopify Web Developer has ownership of which pages the application blocks appear and where.

We at Xcentric make a huge difference in the personalization of Shopify Stores in Pakistan that we develop for our clients by leveraging this feature. It allows us to configure applications in a way that maximizes the benefits of launching a web store on the 2.0 version of Shopify.

5. Improved Metafields For Enhanced Flexibility

Metafields are those extra pieces of data that applications attach to customers, orders, products, and many other objects in Shopify. When it comes to storing information with a home in the admin panel of Shopify Stores – like summaries of blogposts and customer titles, metafields are used.

Previously, for making such changes, a Shopify Developer used to hardcode for displaying metafields in themes or depend on other APIs for making changes. Honestly speaking, they were time-consuming, and using them was a pain.

The good news is that when building web stores on version 2.0, a Shopify Web Designer does not have to hardcode now – thanks to the improved metafields. We now upload things like images without any APIs, long codes, and hassle. Therefore, giving retailers like you enhanced flexibility to sell online.
