Product Variations

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user is working with Shopify’s Prestige theme (version 10.5.1) and encountering limitations with the Product Variations section on their Product Detail Page.

Current Issue:

  • Product variations are displayed as images but limited to only 4 products
  • No tooltip functionality exists to show variant names/colors on hover

Key Findings:

  • The 4-variant display limit is confirmed to be a theme code limitation, not a settings option
  • The restriction exists regardless of how many variations are actually available for the product

Proposed Solution:

  • Requires custom code modifications to the Prestige theme
  • Both expanding the variant display limit and adding hover tooltips would need careful implementation
  • A responder with Shopify 2.0 theme customization experience has offered to help via private message

Status: The discussion remains open with the user considering whether to pursue custom code modifications to overcome these theme limitations.

Hi, I am searching for a possibility to expand the Product Variations section on my Product Detail Page.

At the moment I am using it with the following settings:
Variation Products - displayed as image. This work very well, but is displaying just 4 products. How can I adjust to display more variation products?

And is there a way to display a tooltip on hover: i.e. the name/color of the variant?

Thanks a lot for any help here !!!

Hi! Let me help you with your product variation display setup. To better understand your current configuration and provide you with the most accurate solution:

  1. Could you share your store URL? This would help me see your current setup in action
  2. I see from your screenshot you’re using variant images, but I’d like to confirm which theme you’re using

From what I can tell, you’re looking to:

  • Show more than 4 variant products at once
  • Add tooltips that show variant names/colors on hover

The 4-variant limit is typically set in the theme’s code structure. While this would require some code customization to modify, I’d first like to check if there might be a simpler solution through your theme settings.

I have experience with Shopify 2.0 theme customizations and can help you implement these changes. Let’s explore the possibilities together here first!

Note: While I do offer customization services if needed, let’s first see what we can accomplish through your existing theme settings.

Hi Javier,

thanks for replying.
I am testing this feature in the most current version of the theme “Prestige” - 10.5.1

It looks like this selector is limited to 4 products - no matter how many variations are included.
You think, that this is set in the theme code?

Best, Guido

Hey Guido! Thanks for explaining the issue with your Prestige theme.

I can confirm this is a theme code limitation, and yes, it can be modified to show more variants and add those tooltips you want. Since this involves precise theme customization that would need to be implemented carefully to avoid any issues, I’d be happy to help you with the specific steps.

If you’d like to discuss the implementation details, feel free to send me a PM!
