Dawn - Product Image Slider Help

Store Design
,

Topic summary

A store owner using the Dawn theme implemented the free GC Product Slider app to improve their product photo display, but needs zoom functionality—a feature only available in the paid version that their company won’t purchase.

Key Question:

  • Whether custom code can add zoom functionality to the product slider within the Dawn theme itself

Response from Community:

  • Third-party apps cannot be customized with code without risking theme errors
  • Customization is limited to sections provided by the theme
  • The zoom feature cannot be added through custom development when using the app

Status: Unresolved—the user appears to have no viable solution for adding zoom functionality without upgrading to the paid app version.

We had a problem with the default look for product photos, so I found a free app GC Product Slider which did the trick, but we would like to be able to zoom on it, and that is a paid option the company doesn’t want to make

Is there a way to do this custom ?

Thanks

Hi Starpaint,

Regarding the issue with the Slider, when you use third-party apps to build the store, you won’t be able to custom code. Customizing can easily cause theme errors. You can only customize the sections provided by the theme.

Best,

No, you can only use it through the app and cannot change it.
