Hey everyone, I’m having some trouble with variant products on my Shopware site. I’ve set up a product with multiple variants in the backend, and they show up fine on the product page. But when I try to switch between variants, the page just keeps loading forever. The little spinning wheel gets stuck and nothing happens.
I’ve double-checked my backend settings and everything looks good there. All the variants are properly set up and linked to the main product. It’s just the frontend that’s acting up.
Has anyone else run into this issue before? I’m not sure if it’s a problem with my theme, a caching issue, or something else entirely. Any tips on how to debug this or potential solutions would be super helpful. I’m kind of stuck and not sure where to look next.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
yo, had this happen b4. check ur js console for errors first. if nothin there, try clearin cache n disabling plugins. also, make sure ur variant config is correct - sometimes tiny mistakes mess everything up. if all else fails, maybe try re-importing the product data. good luck!
hmmm, interesting problem! have u tried checking ur network tab in dev tools? sometimes theres hidden api calls failing when switching variants. also, maybe ur product data is too large? i’ve seen that cause endless loading before. ooh, or could be a theme compatibility issue? might wanna try a different theme temporarily to rule that out. let us know what u find!
I’ve encountered a similar issue with variant products in Shopware before. In my experience, this often stems from JavaScript conflicts or errors. First, I’d recommend checking your browser’s console for any error messages while attempting to switch variants. This can provide valuable clues.
If that doesn’t reveal anything, try temporarily disabling any custom JavaScript or plugins you’ve added to your theme. Sometimes these can interfere with Shopware’s built-in variant switching functionality.
Another potential culprit could be caching. Clear your shop’s cache, both server-side and in your browser. If you’re using a CDN or caching plugin, consider temporarily disabling it to rule out any caching-related issues.
Lastly, if none of these steps help, I’d suggest creating a minimal test product with just a couple of variants to see if the problem persists. This can help isolate whether it’s a data issue or a more systemic problem with your setup.
