It gives a great help because we can know the features you can use. Otherwise, if you take a look at the "product / show", you'll see that there is some HTML code for the variants and also some JS to change dynamically blocks content with variant data. The content you placed in your product page (show_default or show_....) is static. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
