  • Good Support

    We've tried other variation plugins in the past and they have had conflicts with other plugins or slowed the website down. Yay Swatches is easy to use, the settings are clear and the support is good - they respond quickly, and resolve any issues quickly, without blaming other plugins and without the go-to response that other plugins give (ie do a conflict test, it's someone else's fault). It makes a welcome change compared to other plugins.

  • The most complete swatches plugin and super fast support!

    YaySwatches is the only plugin which offers easy and working automated image variation swatches. It works even while importing thousands of variations (paint business, nuance variations).It shows variation options on shop, category and filter pages!It is the only swatches plugin creator who thoughtfully replies to emails and resolves issues or custom solutions in a matter of hours!I recommend the plugin for anyone who needs reliable variations and swatches for the variations.The creators also publish several other highly functional and easy to use plugins - at affordable rates and with no bugs.The small license price is definitely worth it - you will realize this if you ever try to communicate with other "popular or top" plugins for variation swatches.Always go with YayCommerce!Special thanks to Mia, Alina and the dev team for being awesome!Sincerely,Nikola

  • Works very well for us

    I think this plugin is underrated, so thumbs up. We tried most of the top rated swatch plugins, and though many are well made, there were always some issue, for instance conflict with the Back In Store Notifier that we like to use. Thanks!

  • Easy to Use and Great Support

    YaySwatches makes quick and easy work of adding item options to your WooCommerce store. Now instead of writing out the store item colors for a selection (example.. dark yellow), you can show the customer exactly what the item option looks like. Additionally when I had a problem, they're support was also very helpful, which was a pleasant surprise as I am using the free version of their addon.
