To get the enlarged image on a product page to show the variant image selected in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add variant images to your product: In your Webflow CMS, make sure each variant of your product has a corresponding image. This is important as you'll need the images to link to the enlarged view.

  2. Create an "Enlarged Image" element: On your product page, add an element that will display the enlarged image when clicked. This can be an overlay, lightbox, or a separate section on the page.

  3. Link the variant images to the "Enlarged Image" element: For each variant image, add a link to the "Enlarged Image" element. This link should trigger the display of the enlarged image when clicked.

  4. Set up interactions: Use Webflow interactions to create a hover or click interaction that triggers the display of the enlarged image when the variant image is clicked. You can set the interaction to show the enlarged image by changing its display settings or by using animations.

  5. Customize the appearance: Customize the appearance of the "Enlarged Image" element to match your design preferences. This can include adjusting its size, position, transition effects, or any other styling properties.

  6. Test and optimize: Preview and test your product page to ensure that when a variant image is selected, the corresponding enlarged image is displayed correctly. Optimize the performance of the page by minimizing the image file sizes and optimizing any animations or interactions used.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the enlarged image on your product page shows the variant image selected in Webflow, enhancing the browsing experience for your visitors.
