Overview

About this plugin

Variation Dropdown to Radio Buttons for WooCommerce converts the standard WooCommerce variation <select> dropdown into beautiful, clickable radio buttons, switch boxes, or enhanced select controls — making it easier for customers to browse and choose product variations without hunting through a dropdown list.

Customers can see all available options at a glance, compare prices and stock status side-by-side, and select a variation in one click. The result is a faster, more intuitive shopping experience that reduces friction and increases add-to-cart rates.

Why Replace WooCommerce Dropdown Variations?

The default WooCommerce dropdown hides all your variation options inside a collapsed select box. Shoppers must click, scroll, and read through a plain list — often missing options entirely. Radio buttons surface every variation immediately, letting customers see images, prices, and stock at a glance before they click.

Studies consistently show that visible product options reduce decision friction and increase conversion rates in e-commerce.

Core Features

  • Radio Buttons layout — replaces variation dropdowns with styled radio button cards
  • Switch Box layout — modern card-style layout with image, price, and stock
  • HTML Select layout — clean, accessible native select element
  • Select2 layout — searchable, styled dropdown powered by Select2
  • Show variation image — display variation thumbnail inside each option
  • Show variation price — surface price differences directly on each button
  • Show stock availability — display In Stock / Out of Stock per variation
  • Show variation description — include variation description text beneath each option
  • Show product title — prepend the parent product name to each variation label
  • Out-of-stock handling — disable, strikethrough, or hide unavailable variations
  • Custom variation name — override the label per variation from the product edit screen
  • Lightweight and fast — scripts and styles load only on single product pages

  • Column grid control — set exact column counts for desktop and mobile independently
