  • Variation Swatch - out of stock font

    We had a small issue with font size and colour in the display settings. Aamir quickly investigated and advised on a solution. Prompt answer and great result.

  • Good plugin overall — support needs to be faster

    Great plugin. The free version is already feature-rich, and the issue I had (duplicated images caused by a LiteSpeed "Guest Optimization" setting) was eventually resolved. My only complaint is support response time: the first reply took 2-3 days, which was hard when the issue was affecting live Shop and Home pages. The plugin itself is excellent, and I hope support gets faster.

  • Excellent support

    Support team went out of their way to help me with an incompatibility with this plugin and another one. Also worth mentioning they did this when i had no paid plan with them, most support teams would have blamed the other plugin. As for the plugin itself, it works really good and is easy to set up

    Excellent swatches plugin. Easy to set up, settings are straightforward. Support answered a question from me in a very short time and gave a thorough explanation of what was happening with our website. We are taking their advice to adjust our filtering for better results. Highly recommend, five stars!
