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."
