Install on ShopifyThe card photo now follows the variant picker
On Product Picks, Product Shelf and Shop Tabs, the product photo now matches the variant selected in the dropdown, and changes when the shopper changes it.
If a card on Product Picks, Product Shelf or Shop Tabs showed one variant's photo with a different variant's name in the dropdown beside it, that was a real bug. Changing the dropdown did not update the photo either.
Both halves are fixed.
On first paint, the card now renders the photo belonging to the variant the picker actually opens on. It previously rendered the product's featured image, which Shopify defines as the first photo attached to the product and which never reflects a variant. Those two only lined up by luck.
When a shopper changes the variant, the photo, its responsive sources and its alt text all swap with the price. A variant with no photo of its own falls back to the product photo rather than going blank, which is the normal state for something like a size run.
The card's link follows the picker too, so a shopper who chooses a variant and then opens the product page lands on that variant.
Nothing to configure and no new settings. Open the app, go to Sections, and choose Update to latest on any of the three. Your existing settings are kept.
