  • Awesome!

    Awesome! Very clean and does not alter the default theme image gallery product display. Perfect for variation swatches!

  • Lots of Options and Great Support - Free Version

    There are a lot of options for customization even with the free version. I used it as a tool to show my variation dropdown bars on the archive shop page so used can select their exact product in fewer steps. There were enough options for me so that I didn't need to make any edits to my individual product pages in the process. Additionally, I reached out for support and received custom CSS to help my specific issue on the same day.
