Does some things the competition doesn’t
-
I think it’s important to mention that this plugin has two major benefits the other free “variation swatches” plugins do not deliver.
- It can show variations on shop/archive pages, not just the single product pages. Some of the other do this too, but not all of them.
- It has a shortcode, which means you can insert it into Elementor loops when designing your own shop/archive grid templates in Elementor. None of the others free ones do this.
My only major gripe with this plugin is how much custom CSS it takes to make the layout halfway decent. The default swatch thumbnail sizes are too tiny for 1080p monitors, this takes points off for frontend UI usability.
It needs options to center the swatches in the box on product archives/shop pages, it needs more modernized frontend code for better layout control. The appearance on single product pages is pretty atrocious, with a forced background color that the settings won’t let you remove, so again, CSS is needed. The alignment of the labels and image swatches is random and seems to have no respect for margins.
