To replace Product images on Swatch click
- Add the required product variation
- Add an image to the variation via the blue image icon.
When the variation is selected, the image will be replaced with that assigned to the variation.
The variation image will also appear under the main image as a thumbnail.
If your Product Variation has more than one value e.g. Size and Colour, both options must be selected for the required variation image to show.
