Managing Shopping Cart Thumbnails for a Configurable Product

Overview

The thumbnail in the shopping cart can be set to display the image from the Configurable product record (Parent Product Thumbnail), or the image from the associated product (Product Thumbnail Itself).  This setting is especially useful when you want to show the specific color of the item selected.  The configuration setting applies to all Configurable products in the store, or current view.
