Variant Images

Palo Alto has made it simple to add images to your variant options. This feature is designed to help display images for variant choices. Ideal for showing the size, type or can even be used to show colors instead of swatches:

Currently, the feature can be set to only one variant type, such as size, style, or color. Multiple types will be supported in future releases. If your shop needs images shown for a particular variant type, this feature will easily link images to your variant options. We suggest using the Siblings feature in Palo Alto for more complex solutions.
