If you have a WooCommerce store, then you may want to display product variation swatches on your archive or shop pages. This can be a great way to give your customers a visual representation of the products that you offer, and it can also help them to make a decision about which product they want to purchase.
There are a few different ways that you can display variation swatches on your WooCommerce store, and in this article, we will take a look at how to do this.
One way that you can display variation swatches on your archive or shop pages is by using the WooCommerce Product Table plugin. This plugin will allow you to list all of your products in a table, and it will also allow you to display product variation swatches. To use this plugin, you first need to install and activate it. Once you have done this, you need to edit the settings for the plugin.
You can find these settings by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Product Tables. In the plugin settings, you need to select the option to ‘Enable product variation swatches’. Once you have done this, save your changes and then go to your archive or shop page. You should now see product variation swatches displayed next to each product.
Another way that you can display product variation swatches on your archive or shop pages is by using the WooCommerce Variation Swatches and Photos plugin. This plugin will allow you to display photos of each product variation, as well as color and size swatches.
You can find these settings by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Variation Swatches. In the plugin settings, you need to select the option to ‘Enable Swatches for Variable Products’. You should now see product variation photos and swatches displayed next to each product.
If you want to displayproduct variation swatches without using a plugin, then you can do so by editing your theme files. However, this method is not recommended unless you are comfortable with editing code. If you do want to try this method, then you need to edit the file called ‘archive-product.php’ in your theme folder.
You need to find the line of code that says ‘add_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item’ );’ and replace it with ‘add_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item’, ‘display_variation_swatches’ );’. Save your changes and then go to your archive or shop page.
