There are two available values for the gallery_switch_strategy variable:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
replace | In replace mode, images of the parent configurable product will be replaced by the simple product images upon a configuration change |
prepend | In prepend mode, the simple product images will be added in front of the parent configurable product upon a configuration change |
