🏆 What Makes This Plugin Different?
Other swatches plugins give you basic color and image swatches. We go further — with two features that are usually premium-only, included for free:
-
Variation Image Gallery — Upload unlimited images per variation. When a customer selects “Red / Large”, they see a complete photo gallery of that exact combination. Other plugins charge $49+ for this feature alone!
-
Stock Count by Variation — Show customers exactly how many items are left for each specific variation (e.g., “Red / Medium: Only 5 left!”). This creates buying urgency (FOMO) and helps customers make faster decisions. No other free swatches plugin offers this.
🎨 4 Beautiful Swatch Types
👉 Color Swatches Display vibrant color circles or squares that customers can select at a glance. Perfect for clothing, accessories, home decor, and any product with color variants. Live Demo & Documentation →
👉 Image Swatches Show product photos, patterns, fabrics, or textures as selectable thumbnail swatches. Great for products where seeing the material or design matters before buying. Live Demo & Documentation →
👉 Button / Label Swatches Clean, clickable text buttons for sizes (S, M, L, XL), styles, or any text-based option. The most popular swatch type for size selectors. Auto-converts from dropdowns on install! Live Demo & Documentation →
👉 Radio Swatches Classic radio-style selectors for simple binary or limited choices. Ideal for yes/no options, gift wrapping toggles, or small option sets. Live Demo & Documentation →
🆓 All Free Features
Our free version is more powerful than many paid alternatives:
👉 Auto-Convert Dropdowns to Swatches Install and activate — all variation dropdowns instantly become button swatches. Zero configuration required.
👉 Variation Image Gallery (FREE!) Upload unlimited gallery images for each specific variation. Customers see the exact photos for their selected color/size combination. A feature usually found only in premium plugins! Live Demo →

👉 Smart Out-of-Stock Handling Three options for unavailable variations: Blur them out, show a Cross sign, or Hide them completely. Prevent customer frustration with clear visual cues. Live Demo →
👉 Customizable Swatch Shapes Choose between Circle, Rounded, or Square swatch styles to match your store’s design and branding.
👉 Hover Tooltips Enable sleek tooltips that appear on hover, showing attribute labels. Position them Top or Bottom to fit your layout.
👉 Ajax Variation Threshold Custom threshold setting for stores with hundreds of product variations. Ensures smooth, fast performance without slowing down your product pages.
👉 Layout Control Choose between Inline or Block display styles. Show the selected attribute name beside the label. Add a “Clear” button to reset selections with one click.
👉 Automated Defaults Set Button or Image as the global default swatch type. No need to configure every product individually.
