Changelog

Storista widgets now start loading as soon as their script is ready, instead of waiting for the page to finish loading. This can help them appear sooner when another slow script is delaying the page.

When shoppers choose Buy now, checkout continues even if the store theme closes the video player. Previously, some themes could interrupt checkout by closing the player after the item was added.

Closing the fullscreen player restores shoppers to the same spot on the page, including when the store’s cart drawer opens right afterward. The page no longer jumps to the top.

• Stay on the shop page. If the page URL already ends in `#player` when a shopper opens the player, closing it clears the `#player` part without taking them to the previous page.
• Close only once. If Escape or the player’s close button is pressed more than once, the player closes only once.

After a shopper adds a product from a video player, carousel or in-page product, the cart count updates. On supported themes, the cart drawer refreshes without opening.

Carousel and story widgets stop automatic movement when shoppers have reduced motion enabled in their device or browser settings. The carousel’s pause/play button has been removed from these widgets.

Product photos and details are easier to browse while shopping from a video:

• Navigate product photos. Shoppers can use arrows and dots to move through a product’s gallery, and choosing a variant takes them to its photo. In the mobile sheet, they use arrows and dots instead of swiping, so the sheet’s gestures remain available.
• A full-height mobile product sheet. The sheet opens at full height, so shoppers can see and scroll through its contents right away.
• Product details stay put. The mobile product title and price no longer jump sideways while the product image loads.
• Lighter image downloads. Gallery photos and swatches are sized for their display area.

Video widgets are easier to browse on mobile:

• Carousel slides fit without clipping. Responsive carousel slides no longer overflow the viewport. Short rows are centered when they fit in carousels and feed sliders.
• Spotlight videos change without a white flash. The poster stays visible until a frame of the next video appears. If shoppers swipe quickly, a video that has moved to another slide won't start playing there.

Videos in iPhone and iPad in-app browsers, including Instagram and Facebook, no longer use the playback engine that caused compatibility issues.

When an automatic sync hit your media limit, videos already in your widgets could disappear. Now existing videos stay in your widgets, and the limit only restricts how many new videos the sync can add.

Shopping from the video player is clearer and more reliable:

• An "Added to cart" message confirms every add-to-cart.
• The cart button shows the shopper's current item count as soon as the player opens, and is now available on desktop too.
• If an item can't be added (for example it's sold out), the shopper sees it right away instead of a false confirmation.
• Product buttons are stacked full-width, so long translated labels like "In den Warenkorb legen" always fit.
