Product page Variant Picker, not showing swatches as variant images

[skele]

I am using the Savor theme, and trying to change the variant picker to swatches so it shows as images of each product instead of the text of the color. As seen in the images attached, the settings are on for variant images as swatches and swatches are toggled on. How can I fix this?

Hey

I see what’s happening even though swatches and variant images are toggled on, the theme won’t show image swatches unless each color variant like Steel, Platinum, etc has its own image linked inside the product settings.

Most likely, that connection isn’t set up yet but it’s a quick fix. If you want, I can handle it for you and make sure the swatches show up exactly how you want.

Let me know and I’ll get it sorted.

That is set up already, when you click the variant name it switches the main image to the variant image. so it is something else

Ah gotcha if the variant image updates when you click the option, then yeah, the image link is set up correctly.
In that case, the issue’s probably in how the theme is rendering the swatches either the section file doesn’t call the variant images correctly, or the schema isn’t allowing image swatches to show.

I’ll need to dive into the theme code to fix that for you if you can add me as a collaborator, I’ll sort it out and get those image swatches working the way they should.

Let me know and I’ll send over my Shopify Partner request

yes please send it

i would like the swatches to show up as small circle images if possible

[michealpaul]

oh yes that can be done!

but i cant send the code through here, i'll be restric ted for that, is there an way we can comu nicate apart from here so i'll share the code

[skele]

Shopify partners send code on threads all the time? WHy cant you

[michealpaul]

To save both of us time and avoid back-and-forth fixes, I’d rather jump in and handle it directly. If you're good with that, I can send a Shopify Partner access request and sort it cleanly for you.

Let me know and I’ll send it over right away.

Hi @skele 

If the swatch settings are already enabled but the variant picker still shows as text, it could be a theme limitation or a conflict in how the variants are set up. And if you're looking for an easier way to fully customize your variant display (like using images for color swatches), you can consider using an app like Easify Product Options. It lets you create visual swatches (color, image, or custom icons) without coding, here's how it works:
