Multiple variant images/media, shown only when variant is selected#143
We’re looking to add a way to be able to assign multiple images/media to a variant option, despite it not being available in Shopify at this time. This would come with the feature to have the product page only show media from the selected variant option.
@Jordan Don’t you guys think that your process of rolling out new features that are planned is very slow? It’s been more than 4 months but there is no update till now? Now wondering that did I have bought the worst theme for my store who are not concerned about their customers needs?
Hey @Sahil!
We appreciate your enthusiasm in seeing this feature completed, and can confirm that it is still planned.
Our developers have to continuously shuffle tasks and priorities around in order to ensure that they’re able to address new bugs and platform changes that come up, while still building new features and products. So it’s often difficult to give clear ETAs on when we can add these features.
On top of that, there are varying levels of complexity that need to be considered when planning new features like this one. For example, variant-specifc product images is not a feature that Shopify supports natively at the moment. So designing a workaround in the theme is quite a complex job.
In the meantime, there are a number of apps in Shopifys App Store that can add this functionality to your store if needed immediately.
And subscribing to updates on this feature request will make sure that you get notified whenever we’re able to make progress on this from the theme side of things.
