Product Description
OpenSwatch transforms WooCommerce product variation selectors from standard dropdown menus into visual swatches. Instead of text-based option selection, customers choose variations by clicking color samples, pattern images, or product photos that represent each option.
Swatch Types
- Color swatches with hex color display for solid colors
- Image swatches using product photos or pattern samples
- Label swatches for text-based options with styled buttons
- Mixed swatch types on the same product for different attributes
- Custom swatch sizes and shapes (square, round, rectangle)
Shopping Experience
Visual swatches help customers understand options at a glance. A blue swatch communicates the exact color shade faster than reading "Navy Blue" from a dropdown. Product gallery images can update when swatches are selected, showing the product in the chosen variation.
Product Listing Integration
Swatches can appear on shop and category pages alongside product thumbnails, allowing customers to preview variations without opening individual product pages. This speeds up browsing for stores with many color or style variations.
