Various Selector Types On A Page

A notable highlight in the feature list of the WPC Variation Swatches plugin is the possibility to use up to 5 different types for attributes on a single product page.

From the admin dashboard, navigate to the Products section >> Attributes >> in the Type option of each attribute, click on the list you can find 5 different types:

  • Select (dropdown, default)
  • Radio
  • Buttons
  • Image
  • Color

For variable products that have 5 attributes as in our live demo, you can choose a suitable type for each attribute based on your preferences. This is truly useful for optimizing the appearance and arranging your product page for optimal user experience.

Buttons As Default Type For Custom Attributes

From the plugin settings, choose “Yes” for the “Button swatches by default” option to set button swatches as the default type for all custom attributes. This will save time when users need to configure the swatches type in bulk.

Note: Except for 2 default attributes by WooCommerce (size & color), all other custom attributes with a different name from these are supposed to have the default dropdown (Select) type. Turn this option on will replace the dropdown with button swatches for all custom attributes on your store automatically.
