Q: Does Rubik Variant Images work with Shopify Savor theme?

Yes. Rubik includes native code for Savor (theme ID: 3626) as part of its Horizon collection support. Variant detection, gallery filtering, and swatch placement all work automatically.

April 3, 2026

A hot sauce brand sells 6 flavors in identical bottles. Each flavor needs its own set of photos: the front label, the back with ingredients, a pour shot, and a styled flat lay with matching food. That is 24 images on a single product page. Shopify Savor theme (ID: 3626) is designed for exactly this type of store. It is part of the Horizon collection of free themes released in 2025, built specifically for food, beverage, and specialty goods brands. But Savor still has the same variant image limitation as every other Shopify theme: one image per variant.

Select “Habanero Mango” and the featured image swaps, but every photo from every flavor stays in the gallery. Customers scroll past Smoky Chipotle and Garlic Reaper shots trying to confirm what the Habanero Mango label actually looks like up close.

Rubik Variant Images & Swatch includes native code for Savor and the entire Horizon collection. Assign multiple images per variant, filter the gallery instantly when a customer picks a flavor or size, and replace the default variant picker with visual swatches.

What you get on Savor with Rubik

Multiple images per variant. Assign unlimited images, videos, and 3D models to each variant. When a customer selects a flavor or packaging option, the gallery updates instantly to show only photos for that variant.
Visual swatches. Replace the Savor dropdown with image thumbnails showing actual product labels, color circles for flavor categories, or pill buttons for sizes and quantities. Mix types per option (images for Flavor, pills for Size).
AI auto-assign. The app analyzes your product photos and matches them to the correct variants by visual similarity. One click per product, even for product lines with dozens of flavor variations. Learn more about AI auto-assign.
Common images. Nutrition info, recipe cards, or lifestyle flat lays stay visible regardless of which variant is selected.
No code editing. Works through Shopify’s app embed system. Savor theme updates will not break anything.
Shadow DOM isolation. Swatch styles cannot conflict with Savor’s CSS or the Horizon variant-picker web components.
Metafield-based loading. All variant image data loads with the page. No external API calls. No impact on page speed or Core Web Vitals.

Setup (5 minutes)

Install Rubik Variant Images from the Shopify App Store.
Go to your theme editor and activate the Rubik app embed. The app auto-detects Savor (ID: 3626) and loads the correct Horizon integration code.
Open a product in the Rubik dashboard. Drag images onto variants, or click AI auto-assign to let the app match photos automatically.
Enable swatches. Pick your swatch type for each option (image, color, pill).
Save and visit the product page to confirm.

If images are not showing after setup, check the variant images not showing troubleshooting guide.

Horizon theme detection

Savor is part of the Horizon theme collection. All Horizon themes share an architecture built on variant-picker web components that differ from older Shopify themes like Dawn or Sense. Standard DOM queries used by most apps will not find the variant selectors inside these components.

Rubik has specific detection code for Horizon themes. When you install the app embed, it identifies that your store runs a Horizon-based theme and loads the correct integration. This covers gallery filtering, swatch injection, and variant change listeners. You do not need to configure anything manually or edit theme code. The same detection works across the full Horizon collection: Atelier (3621), Fabric (3622), Dwell (3623), Heritage (3624), Ritual (3625), Savor (3626), Tinker (3627), Vessel (3628), and Pitch (3620).

If you switch from Savor to another Horizon theme later, your variant image assignments carry over. If you switch to a non-Horizon theme like Dawn or Refresh, those carry over too. The app re-detects your theme automatically.

Works on all Shopify free themes

Rubik supports every Shopify free theme with native code: Dawn (887), Horizon (2481), Refresh (1567), Sense (1356), Craft (1368), Taste (1434), Ride (1500), Colorblock (1499), Crave (1363), Studio (1431), plus the entire Horizon collection. Beyond free themes, the app supports 350+ premium themes as well.

Switch themes anytime. Your variant image configuration carries over.
