What is a Product Image Zoom Effect?
A product image zoom effect allows customers to magnify product images when hovering over them or clicking on them. This enables them to examine the finer details of a product, such as texture, material, and craftsmanship, leading to a more informed purchase decision.
Why Use a Product Image Zoom Effect?
- Improved Customer Experience: Zoom functionality provides a more interactive and engaging experience, allowing customers to thoroughly examine products.
- Increased Conversions: By showcasing product details, you build trust and reduce purchase hesitation, potentially leading to higher conversion rates.
- Reduced Returns: When customers have a clear understanding of a product's details, they're less likely to be disappointed upon receiving it, minimizing returns.
- Enhanced Product Presentation: Zoom capabilities enhance the overall presentation of your products, making them look more professional and appealing.
- No reliance on external apps: Implementing the zoom effect without apps often leads to better performance and avoids potential conflicts with other apps.

Steps on how to Product Image Zoom Effect?
Step #1. Open your code editor
From you Admin page, go to Online store, then Themes. Choose the theme you want to edit, then click the three dots, then Edit code.
Step #2. Main-product.liqud
Open the main-product.liquid file under the Sections folder.
Step #3.Enchancing
We need to enhance the slider-component. To do that we need to replace the FIRST<slider-component> to <product-zoom>. Also the closing tag </slider-component> to </product-zoom>. If you have Dawn version 8.0 and above, please go to the Snippet folder, and open the product-media-gallery.liquid to find the <slider-component>
Step #4. Add CSS code.
Next, we will need to add a little CSS code for the zoom effect to work. Open the Asset folder and find the 'section-main-product.css.' Then add the code below.
Step #5. Add script code.
Last thing to add is the script code. Open the global.js, still at the Asset folder. Then add the code below.
Step #6. Save the changes
Once you've added the code, save your changes to the theme code by clicking the SAVE button on the right hand upper corner.
