Why do I briefly see the initial variant before the swatches load?
PreviousWhy does the cart add the default variant instead of the selected one?NextCan I style only some variants and keep others in the theme’s original style?

This behavior happens because theme elements render first, and then OPTIS loads and applies its configuration afterward. As a result, the initial Shopify variant may briefly appear before OPTIS swatches are displayed.
Yes - we can hide the initial variant visually to create a cleaner loading experience.
⚠️ Please note:
You cannot remove the theme’s variant picker completely, because it is required for OPTIS to work correctly.
We only remove the visual display, not the underlying functionality.
💬 If you’d like to remove the initial variant display, please contact our support team, and we’ll help you set it up properly.
