Variant Media and Selector Repair Toolkit
The Opportunity
A diagnostic and recovery app that helps merchants identify and fix broken variant selectors, disabled add-to-cart behavior, and unlinked variant images on product pages. It would detect common theme/app conflicts and guide merchants to restore core purchase interactions quickly.
"Merchants can suddenly lose critical product-page functionality such as variant selection, add to cart, and variant image switching, which directly blocks sales."
