Topic summary
A user wants to replace their text-based color selector with an image-based variant selector on their Shopify store, similar to what’s shown in reference images they provided. They attempted using Shopify’s built-in option but it didn’t work.
Proposed Solution:
- Modify the product template to link variant images to color options
- Apply CSS styling to match the store’s design
- Test across desktop and mobile before deploying
A respondent offered to implement the customization if given store access. The discussion remains open with no confirmed resolution yet, as the solution requires custom coding rather than a simple setting change.
@Dropstar This requires some coding changes to implement the desired functionality. Please follow below steps to implement it:
-
Customize the Product Template:
- Locate the product template file and replace the current color selector with an image-based selector by linking product variant images to the color options.
-
Style the Selector:
- Use CSS to ensure the image-based selector is visually appealing and aligns with your store’s design.
-
Test and Deploy:
- Verify the functionality on desktop and mobile views.
- Deploy changes to the live store.
