About this plugin
Variation Swatches for WooCommerce replaces the default dropdowns on variable products with color, image, label and radio swatches. Shoppers see every option at a glance, choose faster and get a clearer product page on desktop and mobile.
You pick a swatch type for each global product attribute term under Products → Attributes, and the variation swatches appear on the product page and on shop and archive pages. Everything listed below is included in the free plugin, with no key or account needed.
