Variation Swatches for WooCommerce

Gatemi Variation Swatches replaces the variation dropdowns on your variable products with swatches shoppers can actually see: color chips, image thumbnails, or label buttons — you choose per attribute.

It decorates WooCommerce, it doesn't replace it. The native select stays in the markup: swatch clicks are routed back into it and WooCommerce's own variation logic (availability, resets, the chosen variation) keeps working untouched. A visitor without JavaScript still gets the fully functional dropdown. No variation logic is re-implemented anywhere.

Features

• Color, image and label swatches, chosen per attribute on one settings screen
• Swatches on shop and category pages — each archive card shows its options as links that preselect the option on the product page (cache-friendly plain URLs, no AJAX)
• Colors, images and labels are set on the attribute terms themselves, right where WooCommerce manages them
• Square or round, three sizes, tooltips on hover
• Unavailable options fade out or hide — your choice
• A half-configured attribute degrades gracefully: a color term without a color renders as a readable label, never an empty square
• Accessible: real buttons with pressed states and labels, keyboard and screen-reader friendly
• Lightweight by design: a few KB of hand-written CSS and JavaScript, no frameworks, no ads
• HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatible

For developers

Every behavior beyond the settings is a default with a filter beside it — the filters are listed right on the settings screen (gmvs_attribute_type, gmvs_swatch_html, gmvs_archive_limit and more).

Every license includes

• One year of updates and priority support, delivered straight to your WordPress dashboard.
• Use on 1, 5 or 25 sites depending on your license — local, staging and development sites are always free.
• 30-day money-back guarantee — full refund, no questions asked.
• Keeps working after expiry — if you choose not to renew, the plugin keeps running exactly as installed; it simply stops receiving updates and support until you do.
