How can I enable an image slider for product variants?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user working with Shopify’s Origin theme seeks a solution for displaying product variant images. Currently, customers must manually click through variants one by one to view different images, creating a poor user experience.

Suggested Solutions:

  • Product Image Slider & Gallery app (recommended by GemPages support)
  • Popty Slider app – described as the simplest option with these features:
    • Color customization based on store branding
    • Built-in zoom functionality
    • Native support for Dawn and Origin themes by default

Both recommendations focus on apps that automate image switching when customers select different product variants, eliminating the need for manual clicking.

Hello, I am using the brand new origin theme but for a customer to view the images of a product they have to click the variants one by one. I was wondering if there was a good app or a code I could use to fix this problem, thank you.
