Variant images allow shops to assign a unique photo to each product variant. For example, if a shop carries a style of shirt in three different colors—blue, black, and gray—they can assign a specific photo to each variant. When a shopper selects the blue variant, the product photo will update to display the blue shirt.
You will need to contact the CommentSold Support team to have variant images enabled for your shop. Select the blue Chat button in the bottom-right corner of your CommentSold dashboard to chat with a team member.
Additionally, if you have synced your Shopify store with CommentSold and have variant images enabled in Shopify, you will need to enable and assign variant images in CommentSold.
How Variant Images Benefit Your Shop
- Allow shoppers to preview the exact color or variant when deciding whether to purchase it.
- Reduce returns due to shoppers not liking the variant they ordered.
