Replace the WooCommerce default select and use color swatches, images, and labels to show the options available on your products In your e-commerce, you sell products that are available in different variations (sizes, colors, patterns, etc.); for each variation, WooCommerce inserts a “select,” which is a drop-down menu with the list of all the options selectable by users on your product pages. This is a compromising solution for your shop aesthetics since it is not user-friendly and can be an obstacle to sales: imagine how frustrating the experience can be for a customer who has to choose the color of a T-shirt by selecting it from a list with simple texts without the visual support of color swatches. YITH WooCommerce Color, Image & Label Variation Swatches is a plugin that allows you to replace WooCommerce selects with icons, custom images and dynamic labels. Size, color, fabric type, stone shape, buttons color, size of a necklace…regardless of the product you sell, this tool is an effective and free solution to better represent the options available for your products and offer your customers a better shopping experience.
