,

Topic summary

Goal: Show only images for the currently selected product variant in the Shopify Sense theme (v12.0.0). Variant images = images tied to a specific option (e.g., color/size) that should update on selection.

What’s been tried: The OP tested several YouTube/code snippets without success and looked for a free solution.

Suggestions provided:

  • Hire a developer; approach described: use image ALT text to associate images with variants and write custom code to filter on selection.
  • Consider ChatGPT for guidance, though it still requires coding knowledge.
  • A paid “How To Show Only Selected Variant Images” code was mentioned, but the website link wasn’t clearly provided; only a donation link was visible to the OP.
  • A community member shared a YouTube tutorial link (https://youtu.be/5EDTflRRL78) as a potential fix.

Status: Unresolved. No working, theme-specific code was posted. Next steps: try the linked tutorial or engage a developer.

Unfortunately, you will need to hire someone to write the code for you. You will need to use the image alt to assign the image to the said variants.
