Product tags are another way to relate product variants to images. You can assign different images to different variants based on the product tag. If you want to add different images for your products variants, you should provide the tag with the image.
For example, if you sell T-shirts with many variants, and you have a lot of cat prints, you could make a tag for “cat.” Then add that tag to the menu or sidebar so cat lovers can easily find all t-shirts, hoodies, and pants with cat prints.
The images for products are uploaded in the General section of Products. Every image has 3 properties following properties related to it:
- Image: Select the image file.
- Caption: Provide the caption for the image which will be used for the alt attribute.
- Tag: Provide the tag which will be used to associate an image to the product variant.
