Aurora 4.0 Receives New Structure, Updated Presets, Combined Listings Support, and More

Aurora 4.0 has arrived.

The release comes in sync with Shopify’s major Theme Store redesign that has made theme discovery and setup easier than before.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and what’s coming next.


New theme structure

To improve theme discovery, Shopify now displays each demo store, called a theme preset, as a separate listing. These presets are installation-ready, so you can replicate the exact layout of all sections, including settings, colors, fonts, and texts from the demo store without having to rebuild it manually. This update comes at no extra cost. As a license holder, you get access to all 5 presets.

Aurora theme receives a new structure with five installation-ready styles

Updated preset names

To support preset-specific listing pages, all Shopify themes have received updated preset names that make them distinct from others in the Theme Store. To spot Aurora’s presets among 800+ listings, search for these names:

  • Aurora
  • Auriga
  • Vega
  • Stella
  • Astra

Combined listings support

Aurora now supports Shopify’s Combined Listings app. It helps Shopify Plus merchants improve SEO and merchandising by displaying product variations as individual products. For shoppers, that means a more engaging customer experience, as they can explore items available in different colors or materials from the same product listing.

If you’re not on Shopify Plus, you can achieve a similar setup with Aurora’s built-in Product siblings feature.

Features coming soon

The next major Aurora release will bring a wide range of updates, including:

  • 20+ color schemes using Shopify’s native picker
  • New theme editor interface with conditional settings
  • Custom edge rounding settings for every section
  • Separate color pickers for all image overlays
  • Typography controls for nested header menu items
  • Sticky “Add to cart” button on desktop

This is only part of what’s planned. Much more is on the way!
