product thumbnail image

Technical Q&A
, , ,

Topic summary

  • Request: Display product thumbnail on the home page as a swipeable carousel with dot indicators (no click), as shown in an attached example image, using the Dawn theme.

  • Current capability: Dawn (Shopify’s default theme) can show the second product image when a user hovers over the product card thumbnail. This is available via theme settings.

  • Limitation: Dawn does not include a built‑in feature to show multiple images or a swipe/slide carousel on the product thumbnail in the home page product grid.

  • Outcome/status: No native solution was provided beyond the hover-to-second-image option. Achieving the requested swipeable thumbnail behavior would require custom development or a third‑party app (not covered in the thread). The discussion remains open without a built-in resolution.

Hi, @Sohan2198 .

Thank you for reaching out!

On the Dawn theme, you can change the settings so that when a customer hoovers over the image it will show the second image. However, the Dawn theme does not have the functoin to show multiple images on thumbnail on the homescreen.
