WooCommerce Variation Swatches 1.9.8

WooCommerce Variation Swatches is a WooCommerce extension that replaces standard variation dropdowns with clear, stylish swatches for shoppers. It helps customers choose between product options like color, size, or style without guessing from a plain select menu.

Using swatches for variation attributes improves the selection experience and can reduce friction at the product page. The plugin supports color, image, and label swatches, and it automatically applies image swatches for variation color attributes that include visuals, helping your store look more consistent and intuitive within your existing WordPress and WooCommerce setup.
