Sledge on Publisher. No code. Tuned.
Does Sledge work with the Publisher theme? Yes. Sledge ships tuned for Publisher and detects it at load: filters, instant search, bundles, badges, and the cart drawer all fit Publisher's layout from the first visit. No code, no edits.
Publisher is one of Shopify's free themes with an editorial eye: serif headlines, clean sans body, a wide page, square photos with softly rounded corners. Sledge holds that layout: widgets keep the wide page width, and panels stay transparent so the white page shows through.

How do I add product filters to Publisher?
Install Sledge and switch on the app embed. Sledge replaces Publisher's collection grid with full filter groups, color and image swatches, price sliders, and product counts, all spanning Publisher's wide page width so the editorial layout holds. No code, no template edits.
Filters that sell, not just sort: Filters.
How do I improve Publisher's search?
Sledge gives Publisher instant search: results as the shopper types, typos forgiven, synonyms understood. Publisher's search icon opens the Sledge overlay instead of the native popup, so the header looks unchanged. Behind the overlay sits a full results page with filters.
And when a query keeps returning nothing, Growth Intelligence flags it, with a fix and a dollar figure attached. Details on AI Search.
How do I add bundles or quantity breaks to Publisher?
On Publisher, bundles render above the add-to-cart button on product pages and at the top of collections and search results. Your free gift and shipping goal render inside the cart drawer and on the cart page. Nine types you can build today, from quantity breaks to build-your-own, in cards that match Publisher.
Every type, explained: Bundles.
Can I replace Publisher's cart drawer?
Yes. Sledge intercepts Publisher's cart icon and opens its own drawer: a free-shipping bar that fills as the cart grows, a countdown that nudges checkout, and your offers before the finish line. Publisher's native drawer stays hidden, and theme files stay untouched.
The cart that finishes the sale. See Cart Drawer.
Do product badges work on Publisher?
Yes. On product pages, Sledge places the badge on Publisher's product photo. In collections and search results, badges render on the product cards Sledge draws. Badge what's true: "Low stock" that's really low, "New" that's really new.
Sledge also drops recommendation sliders below Publisher's related products, and on the homepage, cart, and 404 page.
Badges live in Merchandising, next to boosting.
Questions, answered
Will Sledge break my Publisher theme?
No. Sledge injects at runtime and never edits Publisher's files. The Publisher configuration is detected at load, so widgets land in the right places on day one.
Does Sledge slow Publisher down?
No. You load one app's script instead of one script per app, and it loads without blocking the page.
Does Sledge work if I've customized Publisher?
Mostly, yes. Auto-detection reads the page as it actually renders, so rearranged sections are handled. If a heavy customization puts something in an odd spot, support helps.
Do I need to edit Publisher's code?
No. Install the app, switch on the app embed, done. No snippet to paste, no template to edit.
What happens when I uninstall?
Publisher is exactly as it was. Sledge injects at runtime through the app embed and never edits Publisher's theme files, so switching the embed off leaves your theme rendering the way it did before.
