Why is this feature needed?
Imagine a situation: a buyer is looking for a T-shirt, shoes or furniture in a certain color. If on the product page they see only one image, and they learn about the available colors only from the text description or small thumbnails, they will have to manually view the photo or doubt their choice.
The automatic image change feature allows the store to show the real appearance of each color option immediately after its selection. This simplifies the decision-making process and makes shopping intuitive and enjoyable.

🔹 The choice becomes easier, because there is no need to imagine how the appearance of the product will change.

2. Increase conversion and sales
🔹 If the buyer is confident in his choice, he will make a purchase faster.
🔹 Visual content affects emotions: an attractive image in the right color stimulates a purchase.
