Instant monthly wrap-up: March 2024

As we close out March, I’m immensely proud of all the new features Team Instant shipped in Q1! Here’s a quick recap:

Many of the most requested releases from this list happened in March! 

March’s product updates include: 

1. Variant select element: Showcase your product variants (like size or color). Any product option or variant you have created in Shopify can be used. 
   
   

2. Quantity select element: Enable visitors to buy multiple products at once.  It's easy to use and can be implemented just like the Variant select feature. 
   
   

3. Feature request board: Submit & upvote new features for Instant. Let's turn your feedback into our roadmap!
   
   

4. Instant A/B Testing app: Run A/B testing on any Shopify page for free. Track key metrics across the sales funnel (e.g., add to cart, reached checkout).

Advice from an Instant user

This month’s advice comes from Chris, a Shopify store owner and a skilled Instant user. 

Here's his tip for using Instant like a pro: 

"Utilize Instant's responsive screen testing! There are so many times when I assumed a design would be fine on mobile, and after looking at it, it was trash. So it made it really easy for me to edit how things move around for smaller screens."

To learn how to use Instant’s responsive features like Chris, check out our responsive editing tutorial: 

Top 3 resources: 

In addition to the page building advice from Chris, here are three other resources we’ve dropped in March: 

1. Free Figma File: Landing page starter kit. Create a strong foundation for your Shopify pages by grabbing this free eCommerce UI kit.
   
   

2. Case study: Nashville Blanket Project: From Figma to Shopify without code. Discover how Chris Barrett, Co-founder of Nashville Blanket Project, has sped up his design workflow with Instant. 
   
   

3. Partner collab: Instant x Qikify. Learn how to increase your AOV with upselling & cross-selling using both Instant and Qikify.
