6. Variation Swatches for WooCommerce

Our absolute favourite plugin for WooCommerce at the moment is Variation Swatches. It is so simple, but really can make your product variations stand out so clearly. Basically, your variable products show colour and image swatches instead of text dropdowns. Shoppers are able to visually see what the colour or pattern choices are and appreciate the visual representations. Your store now has the final polish and you will stand out from competitors.

Choosing the right plugin is so important and you and your web developer need to research, visit the WordPress.org plugin library, check the features of the free and Premium options, check if the plugin has been banned or blacklisted. This is usually if a plugin has known security risks.

Test your chosen plugin and see if it conflicts with other plugins you are using.

As long as you research and maintain plugins properly, you should have minimal issues with them on your site.

Please get in touch if you have a feature you would like to add to your website, but don’t know what plugin to choose.
