Introducing Lippy by Kiln.

The beauty theme and its three presets now use the Lippy name. This remains a submission candidate pending Shopify review.

  • FixesUpdated the theme name, Lippy Care and Lippy Scent preset labels, editor copy, documentation and installation archive.
  • FixesPre-review compliance update: mobile and desktop Shopify account component, Follow on Shop support, native unit prices on product cards, interactive 3D media and AR, complete font variants and gift-card recipient validation and scheduling fields.
  • FixesRemoved the cart discount-entry control and unverified quantity and bundle discount estimates. Quantity tiers use actual Shopify price breaks; bundle selections retain real product prices.
  • AccessibilityA physical iPhone Safari check confirmed a visible Checkout button, successful Back restoration and repeat checkout navigation. No order was placed in that device check.

v1.3.3

Lippy: installation and Safari improvements.

Submission candidate with all three beauty presets. Shopify approval and full accessibility conformance remain unverified.

  • FixesThe Safari bag respects the visible viewport and bottom safe area. Returning from checkout restores the Checkout button after cached navigation.
  • New FeatureCustom Liquid sections and product blocks, compatible app blocks in the featured shade product, and a 160-pixel gift-card QR code.
  • FixesClean installations show merchant setup guidance, preserve image alternative text and enable accelerated checkout defaults. Care and Scent keep a single-row header at tablet widths.

v1.3.2

Lippy: customer journey corrections.

Fixes and setup improvements from an internal first-time shopper review. This remains a development release for evaluation.

  • FixesShade Studio opens outside sticky stacking contexts. One active overlay and focus trap prevent conflicting dialogs; removed sections release focus and scroll state.
  • New FeatureMerchant-selected shopping and search collections, useful best-selling and new-arrival routes, selected-shade labels and explicit shade add actions.
  • FixesProduct delivery rows can link to a selected care page. The contact template shows page content before Shopify’s native enquiry form.
  • AccessibilityCorrected bag quantity announcements and added overlay lifecycle regression coverage. Full accessibility conformance remains unverified.
  • New FeatureSetup guidance for Search & Discovery beauty filters, searchable shade descriptions, checkout markets and customer care.

v1.3.1

Lippy: accessibility and setup corrections.

Corrections found during Chrome Lighthouse testing, opened-dialog checks and an internal merchant setup rehearsal.

  • AccessibilityRaised product breadcrumb contrast, corrected footer and collection heading levels, removed an invalid search-field ARIA attribute, and added a visible input focus indicator.
  • FixesCleared and cached searches cannot be overwritten by an older response. Search result counts are announced and repeated quick-add requests are guarded.
  • FixesRoutine step numbers remain consecutive when a product is omitted; missing product photographs use a safe placeholder.
  • New FeaturePublic Lippy setup guides, current release notes and an email-draft support handoff. Builder rehearsals are recorded separately from real merchant feedback.
