Key Features

Color Swatches for WooCommerce

Replace color dropdown attributes with visual color swatches. Shoppers can see every available color option at a glance, no selecting blindly from a list. Supports solid colors, dual-color swatches, and custom hex values.

Image Swatches for WooCommerce

Upload custom images for each variation attribute, perfect for showcasing fabric textures, material finishes, print patterns, or any variation that’s better shown than described. When a customer hovers or selects an image swatch, the product image updates instantly.

Size & Label Swatches (Button Swatches)

Convert size dropdowns and text attributes into clean, clickable button swatches. Display sizes like S / M / L / XL as buttons customers can tap, far faster than opening a dropdown menu. Ideal for fashion, apparel, and any store with multiple size variants.

Auto-Convert Dropdowns to Swatches

The plugin automatically detects all variation dropdown fields and converts them to swatches based on your global settings, no manual setup per product required. Configure once, apply everywhere.

Global & Per-Product Swatch Control

Set default swatch styles for each attribute type globally across your entire store. Need different styling for one specific product? Override global settings per product with ease, giving you full flexibility without extra complexity.

Tooltips for Every Swatch

Enable hover tooltips on color swatches and image swatches so customers always know exactly what they’re selecting. Tooltips can display the attribute name, a thumbnail image, or both, reducing confusion and return rates.

Out-of-Stock Swatch Handling

Control how out-of-stock variation swatches are displayed: blur them, cross them out, or hide them entirely. Prevent customers from selecting unavailable options and reduce frustration at the cart stage.

Shop Page & Archive Page Swatches

Display color swatches and image swatches directly on your WooCommerce shop page, category pages, and archive pages, not just on single product pages. Customers can select product variations straight from the catalog, speeding up the path to purchase.

Swatch Shape & Size Customization

Choose between square and rounded swatch shapes. Control swatch dimensions, border width, border color, and spacing, all without writing any CSS. Match the swatch style exactly to your store’s branding.

Who Can Benefit from Variation Swatches for WooCommerce

Clothing & Fashion Stores

Show available colors and sizes as visual swatches instead of dropdowns. Make it easy for shoppers to find their size and pick their color, reducing hesitation and lowering return rates.

Handmade & Artisan Product Sellers

Showcase unique textures, patterns, and materials with image swatches. Let your craftsmanship speak visually, no plain text dropdown can do what a swatch thumbnail can.

Home Decor & Furniture Retailers

Display material options, finish choices, and fabric swatches as image thumbnails. Help customers visualize their purchase before they commit.

Electronics & Tech Stores

Use label swatches to present storage capacity, color options, and configuration variants as clean, clickable buttons. Simplify complex variation selections.

Any WooCommerce Store with Variable Products

If your store sells products with more than one variation, color, size, material, style, flavor, variation swatches will make the buying experience cleaner, faster, and more professional.
