  • This plugin is amazing!

    This plugin is amazing! Super easy to use - just install and set up in minutes. My customers can now configure swatches themself. It works great on all my online stores without any problems. Thank you to the developer for making shopping easier for my customers. Definitely 5 stars!

  • The most best plugin for Variation Swatches

    I tested 7 plugins from the wordpress.org repository and out of 7 plugins, only 2 turned out to be good. Of the 2 remaining plugins, this one turned out to be the best, and all because it: Does not contain ads (customer sites should not see ads) Doesn't add any new menus Works perfect Does not contain unnecessary settings Many thanks to the authors, keep up the good work, you made a great product. I recommend this plugin to everyone and I myself will now use it on all sites with WooCommerce.

  • Great plugin, no bloat

    This is a great plugin that adds only adds, what should be available by default in WooCommerce. No unnessesary settings or upsells. Thank you.
