Variant Image Gallery Switcher
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants assign multiple images to each product variant and automatically switch the gallery when shoppers select an option. This improves product visualization for apparel, accessories, customizable products, and any item with variant-specific imagery.
"The merchant wants to add multiple images per variation, which many themes do not handle cleanly out of the box."

Proposed Solution

Shopify merchants selling products with variant-specific visuals, especially fashion, jewelry, home goods, and custom products.
Competitive Landscape
Variant Image Automator, Rubik Variant Images, StarApps Variant Image, Variant Gallery apps
Implementation Notes
Build a variant-image mapping UI in the app admin, store mappings in metafields or app data, and inject storefront script/theme app block logic to update the product gallery on variant change. Support multiple images per variant, image ordering, fallback behavior, and compatibility with OS 2.0 themes like Dwell.
