What the author says it does

WCBoost – Variation Swatches is a WooCommerce extension that enhances the appearance and functionality of variable products. By replacing the default dropdown menus with visually appealing swatches, this plugin allows customers to quickly view and select product variations such as colors, sizes, and styles at a glance.

WCBoost Variation Swatches elevates your store’s aesthetic and simplifies the selection process for your customers. With this plugin, you can showcase your products in a way that’s not only pleasing to the eye but also intuitive to use.

Live Demo | Documentation

Whether you’re selling clothing, accessories, electronics, or any other type of product with variations, this plugin empowers you to showcase your offerings in a visually stunning and user-friendly manner, helping you stand out in today’s competitive e-commerce landscape.

Why you need variation swatches for your store?

The default WooCommerce dropdowns are not very appealing and user-friendly. They can cause some problems for your customers, such as:

  • Default variation dropdowns do not provide any visual feedback of the product variations, making it hard for customers to find the right option.
  • They can reduce the conversion rate of your product page, as customers may lose interest or get confused by the dropdowns.

How this plugin can help you improve your store?

The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.

Questions the author answers

Will this plugin work with my theme?

Yes, it will work with any theme, but may require some styling to make it match nicely.

Does it work with Multisite?

Yes, it does work with WordPress multisite.

How to configure attribute swatches?

By default, this plugin will convert all variation dropdowns to buttons (Of course, you can disable this feature with a single option in the Customizer > WooCommerce). You are able to change them to other swatch types.

Where are the plugin’s options

Following the standards of WordPress and WooCommerce, you can find all the settings that relate to the appearance of your website in Appearance > Customize. The settings of this plugin are in the Customize > WooCommerce > Variation Swatches section.

How to disable out-of-stock swatches

WooCommerce has an option to hide out-of-stock products from the catalog, it works for the variation swatches too. You just need to enable this option in WooCommerce > Products > Inventory. It is the option “Out of stock visibility”.

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
