Search within your website, new themes and more

June 21, 2016

It's been just over two months since we launched Pattern, and we've been hard at work adding features, making improvements, and fixing all the things that Brad and Ryan broke. They are sorry and say it won't happen again and if they ever meet you they will probably feed you cake. Here's everything we added, improved and unbroke for Pattern.

In this release

New

• Search: Shoppers can now easily search your Pattern site. Turn on the new search feature in the Style section of your Pattern Dashboard.
• New theme: Gingham. A colorful collage that emphasizes your brand by highlighting your shop icon, shop name and accent colors.
• Mobile preview: See how your site looks on a variety of mobile devices with this instant preview.
• Photo gallery viewer: Buyers can see your listing images with even more clarity, and they're super shareable now too.
• Vacation mode: Set your Etsy shop to "vacation mode" and your Pattern site will go on vacation with it. They'll have such a relaxing time together.

Improved

• SEO: Every page of your Pattern site is now fully optimized.
• Listing gallery: It no longer does that thing where it crops some of your photos without asking.
• The formatting of FAQs and Policies look much better now, and so will your site.
• Domain registration: You can easily see if your newly purchased domain needs to be verified, and transfer it to another provider if needed.
• Upgrade Twitter sharing to use large beautiful share images.
• PayPal: Now shoppers can checkout using PayPal.

Fixed

• Trellis grid would only display 2 of the 3 columns when the font Inconsolata was used.
• In the Stripe theme, listings viewed on mobile were misaligned if the description contained a long link.
• In Safari, the "loading" image wasn't aligned after clicking "Add to Cart".
• The Swatch theme arrow was misaligned for section buttons on the homepage when using Firefox.
• Social media links were missing from the mobile view of the Trellis theme.
• Stripe pagination was doing some weird things with colors.
• Shop story disappeared on some themes when there wasn't a headline.
• In the Mosaic theme, shop sections weren't visible on mobile.
• The "View your site" banner obscured the "Back to Etsy" link on the Dashboard.
• Listing-specific policies weren't displayed on Shipping & Policies tab.
• "All items" stayed selected after other sections were selected.
• Link to help article on Pattern cookies was broken.
