#### Video Tutorial

#### **Let's get started!**

It is important to set up your swatches correctly on the product page so it's easier for the customers to identify the variants available for that particular product. Depending on the type of product, you can set the swatches to display the colour of the variant or the image itself.

 

To access the **Gallery & Swatches** settings, go to your **Theme settings →** **Gallery & Swatches**.

#### **Gallery**

The **Show selected variant's image** option will change the main image according to the selected variant.

![Show selected variants image option](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Show%20selected%20variants%20image%20option.jpg?width=317&height=273&name=Show%20selected%20variants%20image%20option.jpg)

 

 

#### **Default variant selector**

There are two options for the variant selector:

1. Dropdown
2. Swatch

![Variant selector](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Variant%20selector.jpg?width=494&height=173&name=Variant%20selector.jpg)

There's also the default variant selector which is text-only:

![Text-only variant selector](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Text-only%20variant%20selector.jpg?width=253&height=154&name=Text-only%20variant%20selector.jpg)

#### **How to set up color swatches**

In the **Color only option names** textarea, enter the name of the variant options of the product.

![Color only option names](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Color%20only%20option%20names.jpg?width=688&height=275&name=Color%20only%20option%20names.jpg)

#### **Custom color swatches**

With this feature, you can set a custom color to your swatches using the HEX color codes.

Let's say you want your red to be a certain tone you'll have to put in the "*Custom color codes*" field:

```
red: #EA674B
```

![Custom color codes](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Custom%20color%20codes.jpg?width=610&height=252&name=Custom%20color%20codes.jpg)

#### **How to set up image swatches**

In the **Image option names** textarea, enter the name of the variant options of the product.

![Image option names](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%20option%20names.jpg?width=588&height=312&name=Image%20option%20names.jpg)Note: Make sure to add an image to each of your variants in Shopify.

![Shopify variant images](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shopify%20variant%20images.jpg?width=572&height=432&name=Shopify%20variant%20images.jpg)For more info, you may refer to this Shopify in-depth tutorial: [https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/product-media/add-images-variants](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/product-media/add-images-variants).

#### **Alternative selector options**

Let's say you want your colour to remain swatches but would like to have the size as a dropdown, you simply enter the name of your size variant and it will do theopposite of the default variant selector.

#### **Swatch logic**

Within Booster Theme, there are 2 different swatch logics to choose from: Amazon and Aliexpress.

1. **Amazon —** Amazon swatch logic allows you to select variants not greyed out, which means they are currently unavailable.
2. **Aliexpress —** Aliexpress is simply the reverse, you can't select unavailable variants.

#### Disable Sold Out Options

You can tick this option if you don't want sold-out variants to be clickable.

#### **Preselect swatch**

This allows you to customize whether or not you want to preselect a swatch on page load.

![Preselect swatch](https://help.boostertheme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Preselect%20swatch.jpg?width=309&height=258&name=Preselect%20swatch.jpg)

1. **None** — this will leave the variant unselected.
2. **First option** — will always select the first variant.
3. **First or selected variant —** will always select the first variant of all options.

#### Swatches Style

This allows you to customize whether or not you want a border around your variant swatches.

  **Enable** — turn on to show a border around each swatch.
- **Border Color** — choose the color of the border (example: `#000000`).
