Astra — new theme preset for beauty brands
Aurora 3.6 brings Astra, a theme preset designed for skincare and beauty brands. Its clean, product-focused layout with vibrant accent colors supports strong visual storytelling, which is ideal for single products or curated capsule collections.
Explore this crisp and refined style by visiting the Astra demo store.
Revamped quick view
Quick view has been redesigned to give you more layout flexibility. In addition to the classic drawer, you can now display product previews in a modal window with a horizontal media gallery. It has also become a standalone theme section — so be sure to add it after updating your theme.
In-cart shipping calculator
Shopping cart now displays a shipping calculator, allowing customers to view estimated shipping costs for their order before they proceed with checkout. If customers are logged in, their shipping address will be automatically filled in the calculator.
In-cart consent checkbox
Shopping cart has also received a mandatory consent checkbox to help your store comply with GDPR. If enabled, it will prevent customers from initiating checkout until they agree to your store’s terms and conditions. This update is a simple yet effective way to improve transparency and legal alignment.
