Hi,

My shoe products have variants for size and colour. Is there some code that when a different colour is selected (i.e. different from the image displayed), the cart page can display a thumbnail of the colour selected from the colour dropdown box and the product description gets updated. This sounds a big ask or how is everyone handling this?

That is the deault behavior for version 4.1.x
In your variant setup, and an image per variant.

and the product description gets updated

That is not default -- if you need a different product description per variant, you will need some custom code.

BUT -- if you sell shoes, and the "only" difference in the variant is the color, wouldn't a unique product image be sufficient? I guess what I'm saying, if the variant requires a unique description, it's not really a variant, is it?

Try adding variant images.

Thanks Carp. It is a good point you made. Silly me put the colour of the shoe in the product name. For example:- Brown Suede Jolie T1 high heels. The things you do when you are inexperienced......

If I use a more generic product name without the colour, adding an image should be fine.
