More About The Plugin

• Medusa Variant Images includes the ability to order your images and displays the number when you click on the images.
• You can also upload images using a base option.
  For example: Let's say you have a clothing store. You can select the base option as colour and upload your images to all variants with its colour option set as brown, simultaneously.
  To do this, click the 3 dots at the top right of the variant images section in your product.
