How it works

1. Install and activate the plugin

Once you purchased the plugin, you can download it from the “Thank you” page, or from the Members’s Area.

In your website admin area please go to Plugins > Add new > Upload plugin. Then please click the “Activate” button. Make sure as well that you have WooCommerce installed.

2. Configure product attributes

The next step is to configure your shop product attributes. Whether you already have attributes or in case you’re configuring your WooCommerce shop for the first time – both cases will work out well.

Please go to Products > Attributes and either create a new attribute or edit an existing one. All you have to do is to choose the attribute type (Select, Image, Color, Label). After that you can set color or upload images for the terms of this specific attribute.

How you can do it is described in the video below:

Label type:

labels as variation swatches

Image type:

use images as a variation switcher

3. Display variations on shop pages (optional)

Since the plugin version 1.1 it is also possible to display and add to cart variations directly from the shop page.
