WooCommerce Variation Swatches and Photos

Description

The Variation Swatches and Photos add-on replaces variation selection dropdowns with clickable visual swatches in WooCommerce, displaying colors, images, and text labels directly on the product page. Designed for those who sell clothing, footwear, accessories, and items with multiple aesthetic variations, it transforms the selection of attributes such as color and size into a visual, clickable interaction, reducing confusion at the time of purchase and bringing the catalog closer to the experience offered by major online retailers.
