What it does

Standard WooCommerce variable products ask shoppers to pick options from text dropdown menus. That works, but a list of color names or design labels tells the customer little about what they will actually receive. This plugin swaps those menus for swatches that display a color block, a pattern or a product image for each variant. Customers can see the choices at a glance and click the one they want, which makes picking a variation clearer for clothing, accessories and other products sold in multiple styles.

Setup happens inside WooCommerce, where you assign colors or images to your product variations through a drag-and-drop interface. You can then adjust swatch shapes, sizes and borders so they match the look of your store, and add tooltips that appear when a shopper hovers over a swatch. The swatches are responsive, so they work on phones as well as desktops. The plugin is built to work with most WooCommerce-compatible themes and is ready for translation, including with WPML.

Best for

Fashion and clothing stores selling items in many colors
Accessory shops with patterned or multi-design products
Multilingual WooCommerce stores using WPML

Features

Color and image swatches

Replace variation dropdown menus with color blocks or product images, so shoppers can pick a color, pattern or design by clicking a visual option.

Custom swatch styles

Choose from different swatch shapes, sizes and borders to match the swatches to your store's branding and overall design.

Tooltips on hover

Show extra information or product details in a tooltip when a shopper hovers over a swatch, keeping the product page itself uncluttered.

Drag-and-drop assignment

Assign colors or images to your product variations using a drag-and-drop interface, with bulk actions available on the WooSwatches tab.

Responsive swatch display

Swatches adjust to the screen they appear on, so variation selection works on desktops, tablets and smartphones alike.

Unlimited variations

Use swatches on products with only a few variations or with hundreds of them, since the plugin places no cap on the number of variations.

Out of stock handling

Includes options for how out of stock variations are handled, so shoppers can tell which choices are currently unavailable.

Translation and WPML support

The plugin is ready for localization and works with WPML and other translation tools, which helps stores serving customers in several languages.
