When is the new Trade theme for B2B releasing on Shopify?

[taylorthomas]

Does anything know when Shopify's B2B theme, Trade, is going to be released? I saw this in the Winter Edition they just released but they didn't have a date. I am looking to create a store dedicated to B2B very soon and was interested in checking it out and possibly using it. Just wanted to get an idea of if its soon or still a few months away.

Hi Taylor.

Nothing has been released about the launch of this theme. I have spoken with Shopify Support, and they do not have any visibility from the product team about this. I also hoped to access this theme for a new merchant.

I guess that if they do not have visibility on this internally, it's not 'just around the corner' and is more likely a month or more away. You can sign up for email notifications on this via the Shopify Winter Editions site, under the tile where the Trade theme is mentioned.

Hope that helps and hope they release the theme as soon as possible.

During this year's partner day in Berlin it was teased to be released in Q1 2024, which would mean it will e released by end of March latest. 

That's what was on the respective slide:

B2B-Optimized Theme

Available in Q1 Global Release

Introducing "Trade", a new theme optimized for B2B selling and pre-built with all of our advanced features.

Merchants will be able to utilize an out-of-the-box theme that’s specifically designed for B2B selling and ordering with features like:

Is it Released?

Hi folks,

Thank you to you all for expressing an interest in the new Trade theme and I know that you're all excited to get your hands on it to start building out your online stores. At this time I can confirm that the theme has not yet be released and I don't have a specific date that I can share with regards to its publication, although my estimate is that it should hopefully become available in the coming weeks. It will be available for download from the Shopify Theme Store as soon as it has been released.

Any chance you're able to share whether or not the expectation is for the release date to be before end of May? Thank you!

I was told the first week of April from the Shopify B2B team so I am hoping by the end of this week it will be released. Fingers crossed.

Well, it is released now and it is full of glitches. When you view a collection page of products, it doesn’t even show the name of the product or the price. When I view the development store on a mobile, the images are flashing, and the products are not showing up. When I’ve written into shopify, they are trying to tell me to contact a shopify expert and that it is custom coded. I am the shopify expert! Stay clear of this until they fix it.

Hello, there is no 3rd party code. It’s a brand new development store. The person on the chat said that about 3rd party code which didn’t even apply. Can you help me? https://ffl-brands.myshopify.com/
Go to shop/blankets and notice none of the products have prices or descriptions.
Also if you look on a mobile site there’s all kinds of crazy flashing of photos.

I have built 10 shopify stores. There is NO custom code. If there is a problem with the theme I just need to know asap so I can switch as this customer needs this site up right away.

Salve, sto provando il tema Trade, sembra avere buone potenzialità ma noto che ci sono ancora molte cose da mettere a posto. Ad esempio non è chiaro come inserire i mega menù, non trovo alcuna funzione per modificare i formati o aggiungere immagini.

Qualcun' altro sta riscontrando gli stessi problemi?

Grazie
