This is a very cool plugin to add variation swatches on your woocommerce site, you can add colour, label ecc and it is very easy to use. I contact the support for one little thing and the answer and show me how to fix in 1 day. 5 stars

This plugin works amazingly well to provide a key feature of my website. I dye colorful silk scarves and scrunchies, and the default WooCommerce product page color selector and category page product filters are quite boring. With this Variation Swatches plugin, I created 40px custom color swatches to make the selector and filter both visually appealing and user friendly. Though it’s a free plugin, their tech support quickly helped me get it working right and resolve a couple image and filter related issues as well. I’m very impressed! Thank you.

This plugin is very easy to set up. Also was easy to customise to fit my site’s styling, and an issue I was having (which was caused by my theme) was solved by the dev theme within a day. Definite 5/5 stars!

First off, this is better than the out of the box WooCommerce provides. Very sleek & dynamic. I was needing some help with the colors. The support expert who took my ticket went above & beyond the requirements. I was very impressed and appreciative. It is a great product.

It has the same features as other swatches plugin but it’s free and has excellent support from a reputable plugin developer.
