Horizon theme and multiple variant images

Hi,

do you happen to know how the new Horizon theme handles multiple images per variant?

In the official Horizon demo (e.g. if you click on the first product), on the product page when you click a variant, all the relevant variant images update dynamically. How is it done there?

It looks like a promise of native support for multiple variant images in the new themes, but I can’t get it to work in my test store. It’s still limited to one image per variant, and I have to resort to workarounds – either using an app or adding a custom product metafield with images and modifying the theme code to handle this field.

But with this kind of workaround, there are other issues – for example, how to simply import variant images via CSV… etc.

It’s probably combined listings.

Thanks Matt, it must be it. It’s plus only. Hopefully it will make it someday to the standard plan.

In the meantime I will use some workaround working with CSV import so the merchant will easily update products by himself in bulk. I believe the image order or the alt property are the best options. What do you think?

Shopify Plus Support have confirmed that the Horizon demo is using Combined Listings.
