FAQ
Whichever image is first in the order of product gallery images will appear on hover.
This is due to the secondary image being positioned absolutely. This is the cleanest way I can think to do this with CSS alone. You may want to consider hard cropping your product catalog thumbnails to ensure all images are the same dimensions in product archives.
First of all check that the product you’re checking has a gallery attached to it.
