Instant Variant Images

Instant Variant Images does two jobs on your product pages:

• Variant images. When a shopper picks Navy, the gallery shows only the navy photos. Pick Sand and it switches to the sand ones. Your theme’s own gallery does the showing, so its layout, zoom and thumbnails stay exactly as they are.
• Swatches. Plain option buttons become small photos or color dots, on product pages and on collection and search pages.

Both are set up on one screen per product, with a live preview beside it.

Where to start

1. Getting started — switch the app on in your theme and set up your first product. About five minutes.
2. Variant images — every part of the product editor.
3. Swatches — turn option buttons into photos or colors, one option at a time.
4. Swatch style — shape, size and borders, set once for your store.
5. Bulk setup — set up many products at once.
