Hi all!
I’m looking for Shopify Themes that can natively display multiple images per variant as well as per variant descriptions. I.e. if a customer selects a variant in the menu / drop down, they’ll only see multiple images for that variant as well as a unique description per variant.
I’m aware that Symmetry and Showcase have the ability to display multiple images per variant, but unsure if they can also display descriptions per variant.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi @JumpinJack
Dawn and all the other free 2.0 themes have this sort of functionality through the option below in the customizer.
But this is only for the assigned variant image. If you want multiple images per variant you need to custom code it. I don’t know about symmetry and showcase unfortunately so can’t comment.
Regarding description, that can definitely be done, Shopify now has variant metafields, you can create one, and include it for every variant product, add unique descriptions there. Then you just go to the product page section in the theme code - change {{ product.description }} to the new variant metafield, loop through the variants to get them all and only show which variant has been selected. You need to understand JavaScript to accomplish the switch between the variant metafields based on the users selection.
Hope that helps you understand what needs to be done :). It does require some effort, can’t simply be added here.
