Overview
Your master products can be automatically updated with their child images and tagged for image switching.
This means that as you add a child product to a master in the CMS, as long as that child has an associated image, it will be copied across with the correct tags. |
|
You can enable this functionality in the Product Variant Settings page in the CMS.
Navigate to Settings → Feature Management → Product Variants, and enable the setting 'Update Master Products With Child Images'.
- Your site must be running version 4.04 or higher
- The child product needs an image loaded against it.
- The child product can't also be a master product.
- The child product can't be a child to more than one master - this feature works for one-to-one relationships only.

Step-by-step guide
- With the Product Variant Feature setting ('Update Master Products With Child Images') enabled, navigate to Products & Categories → Product Maintenance.
- Search for and Edit a Master product.
- Add a child product (or several) to the master product.
- Ensure that each child product has an image against it. If the child product has more than one image, all of them will be copied across to the master.
- Once you've added all required child products, click Save.
- On reload of the page, you'll see that the image from each child product has been added to the master, and has been automatically tagged with its variant option(s).
Here's a video showing a simple example. You can see that when the master product is saved, the new child images appear, complete with correct tags.
If you remove a Child Product from a Master Product, the existing Child Product's images need to be manually deleted. |
Additional Information
This functionality works whether your product images are loaded via the CMS, or sent via the Integrator! |
