2. How to set variant images

Step 1. Upload variant images

Click on the product for which you would like to set up product variant images, and then click Select Image.

If you haven't uploaded any variant images yet, you can click Edit product images or name (ALT) to add the main product images.

 

*Notes:

• You can upload a maximum of 300 main images, and it is recommended to use images with dimensions of 750 x 750 pixels for the best display quality. Files that are too small may result in blurry images.
• After clicking on a variant and displaying the variant image, the main product photo cannot be displayed again. If you wish to display the main product photo, it's recommended to include the main product photo in each variant image.

 

You can edit the photo names (ALT) for the uploaded images. Later, when selecting variant images, you will be able to identify the images quickly based on their names.

 

Step 2. Select variant images

Upon completing the image uploads, you can click [Edit Variant Images] > [Select Image]. Then, select the images in the order you want them to be displayed for this variant. The numbers in blue at the upper right indicate the display order. An image can be selected repeatedly without being limited by the variants.

 

After you set up your variant images, your customers will be able to view different product variant images displayed at the storefront based on the product variants (styles).

• This app offers a 14-day free trial. If you do not make a payment when the trial period ends, the system will automatically uninstall the app, and all related settings will be deleted.
