Qala improvements
- The coupon form on checkout is now located at the top of the page, making it more visible to customers.
- The primary category of a product is now highlighted above the product title on a single product page. With the ability for site administrators to choose the colour of that label.
- It is now possible to add product reviews as part of the modular content builder on a single product page, giving more flexibility in how Qala users want their product pages to look.
