Sledge on Tinker. No code. Tuned.
Does Sledge work with the Tinker theme? Yes. Sledge detects Tinker at load, so filters, instant search, bundles, badges, and the cart drawer all fit its layout from the first visit. No code, nothing to tinker with.
Tinker is one of Shopify's newer free themes: pure black on white, square photos, a narrow page, a tight grid. Sledge measures up: grids copy Tinker's spacing, panels hold the narrow width, cards follow the theme's type.

How do I add product filters to Tinker?
Install Sledge and switch on the app embed. It replaces Tinker's collection grid with full filter groups, color and image swatches, price sliders, and product counts, held to the theme's narrow width and tight spacing. No code, no template edits.
Filters that sell, not just sort: Filters.
How do I improve Tinker's search?
Sledge gives Tinker instant search: results as the shopper types, typos forgiven, synonyms understood. Tinker's header search button opens the Sledge overlay instead of the native dialog, so the header looks unchanged. Behind the overlay sits a full results page with filters.
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 Tinker?
On Tinker, bundles are tuned to render above the buy buttons 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 sit flush with Tinker's tight grid.
Every type, explained: Bundles.
Can I replace Tinker's cart drawer?
Yes. Sledge intercepts Tinker's cart button and opens its own drawer: a free-shipping bar that fills as the cart grows, a countdown that nudges checkout, and your offers once more before the finish line. The native drawer stays hidden, and your theme files stay untouched.
The cart that finishes the sale: Cart Drawer.
Do product badges work on Tinker?
Yes. On product pages, Sledge is tuned to place the badge on Tinker's product photo. In collections and search results, badges render on the cards Sledge draws, matched to the theme. Badge what's true: "Low stock" that's really low, "New" that's really new.
Sledge also drops recommendation sliders on the homepage, collections, product pages, search results, cart page, and 404, and hides the native related row so nothing shows twice.
Badges live in Merchandising, next to boosting.
Questions, answered
Will Sledge break my Tinker theme?
No. Sledge injects at runtime and never edits Tinker's files. The Tinker configuration is detected at load, so widgets land in the right places on day one.
Does Sledge slow Tinker 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 Tinker?
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 Tinker'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?
Tinker is exactly as it was. Sledge injects at runtime through the app embed and never edits Tinker's theme files, so switching the embed off leaves your theme rendering the way it did before.
