Which is more important on product pages? An image zoom, product description or review? We can probably agree they all have a place, but according to internetretailer.com, 61% of consumers voted image zoom. (source)
Why? Because a product image zoom shows the smallest detail of your products. It's the quickest way customers can see exactly what they're buying. This smooth image zoom reveals a highly detailed image as you hover and can be manually integrated into your Bigcommerce store within 10 minutes.
Need an automatic installation instead of manual? Try Magic Zoom Plus! This ultimate image zoom offers 2 zoom tools in 1: zoom on hover and lightbox effect on click. Customers love its versatility.
