Choosly
Choosly is a WooCommerce plugin by VillaTheme that turns product variation dropdowns into clickable swatches. Shoppers pick colors, patterns or sizes from color, image or text label buttons instead of a plain menu, so the options on a variable product are easier to see and choose.

What it does
Standard WooCommerce variable products show their options in dropdown menus. That works, but a shopper has to open each menu and read a list to find the color or size they want. This plugin replaces those menus with visual swatches. Colors appear as color chips, patterns or fabrics can appear as small images, and options such as sizes can appear as text labels. Default attribute options are converted into swatches automatically, which saves you from setting up every product by hand.
The plugin works with your existing WooCommerce variable products, so you keep your current product data and simply change how options are displayed. You can adjust the size, shape, border and spacing of the swatches to match your store's design, and tooltips can show variation details on hover. The swatches are responsive for mobile visitors, the plugin is translation ready for multilingual stores, and developers get hooks and filters for custom changes. It requires WooCommerce.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling clothing, shoes or other products in colors
- Shops with fabric, pattern or style options that need images
- Developers building custom or multilingual WooCommerce stores
