When a customer selects Black, the black product image is displayed. When they select White, the white product image is displayed automatically, providing a real-time preview of the chosen color variant.
Steps:
- Select the product:- Open SB: Product Options โ Click Products from the left sidebar โ Select the product you want to configure for color variants โ Ensure the product is enabled โ Click Edit.

- Enable Variant Images :- Open the template editor โ Click the Side Settings (โฎ) menu for the side you want to configure โ Select Edit Side โ Scroll to the Variant Images section โ Click Turn On to enable Variant Images

- Assign Images to Each Variant : In the Variant Images section โ Select the option that will control image switching (e.g., Colors) โ Click Upload to add a new image or Choose to select an existing image from your product gallery โ Assign the corresponding image to each variant value (White, Black, Forest Green, Gold, Maroon, etc.) โ Repeat the process for all variant options โ Click Save.

Important: Make sure each variant is mapped to the correct image according to its color. For example, the White variant should use the white product image, Black should use the black product image, Forest Green should use the green product image, and so on. Incorrect image mapping may cause customers to see the wrong product image when selecting a color variant.

- Verift it on fron store : Open the product page on your storefront โ Select a color variant (e.g., White, Black, Forest Green, Gold, or Maroon) โ Verify that the product image changes automatically according to the selected color โ Test all available variants to ensure the correct images are displayed.

Once configured, customers can select a color variant and instantly view the corresponding product image. This creates a more interactive shopping experience and helps customers visualize the selected product before purchase.
