How do you change the product images from scrolling to a slideshow on a product page?
I’ve added an image of how it looks currently on my website
Topic summary
Goal: change product images on a product page from vertical scrolling to a slideshow with thumbnails in Shopify.
Applicable context: Works on Shopify’s official free themes; options may vary on third‑party themes.
How to set it up:
- In Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Customize.
- At the top, switch to Products > Default product.
- In the left panel, open Product information.
- Under Desktop layout/Product media, select “Thumbnail carousel” (or “Thumbnail”) to enable a slideshow with thumbnail navigation.
Notes:
- No code changes required; it’s a built‑in theme setting.
- Screenshots in the discussion illustrate the exact UI locations for these settings.
Outcome/status: A clear, step‑by‑step solution was provided; the issue appears resolved with the recommended “Thumbnail carousel” setting.
If you’re using one of Shopify’s official free themes, you can do the following:
- From the Shopify admin, click on “customize”
- At the top, select “products > default product”
- On the left panel, click on “product information”
- Scroll down and choose the option Thumbnail Carousel:
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
