The Amma Shop review for Rubik Variant Images & Swatch

April 9, 2026

Thanks Rubik! This is now the best app I have for Shopify. It was so easy to set up and customize the design elements to match our site. You can't imagine how messy our set was before this app! Now it's perfect! Truly changed our store for the better and made my life a LOT easier. I'm not going to explain the app's features here, but if you need the features they offer, just go for it and try the app. FYI: I found the bulk processing and AI features to be very sophisticated. I tried it on one product (feee trial) and then purchased the app right away because it helped so much. We only need it for about 40 products but it's a huge improvement for us. This is a little geeky, but it may be helpful: A big problem we had was that we wanted all our variant thumbnail images to be visible at once, so users could see the variety we offered. But showing all the variant thumbnails below the main image caused confusion because clicking on a thumbnail did not select that variant in the variant picker (by design in Shopify Dawn theme). The user would sometimes purchase the wrong variant because of this. But now the variant picker and the thumbnails are unified, so the user clicks the thumbnail to select the variant AND display the main image for that variant. It's way less confusing. This is more like how leading stores work. We also sell a lot of one-of-a-kind variants (stock of 1 item per variant), so sometimes we have 20 variants for a given product. Since there is only one of each variant, they sell out quickly, and users saw a LOT of unavailable variants (which was really messy and ugly). And even worse, although we could hide the sold out variants in the picker with a little custom code, we had no way to hide the thumbnails for the sold out variants. This meant we might have only two available products but 20 variant thumbnails visible (18 of which were sold out. Yuk. But no yuk more! Now with Rubik, we hide all unavailable variants AND their thumbnails both at once (since the thumbnails are the picker itself). Some of the functions in Rubik can be done with custom code and some specific settings in the Dawn theme, but my experience was that I could never get all the features I wanted to work together using custom code. I spent a lot of time messing with the code and gave up in the end. Rubik satisfied all my requirements without conflicting with anything else on the site. Great work by the Rubik gang!
