Swatches

The Swatches option type lets you display your product choices in a visual and clickable way. Instead of just showing words (like “Red” or “Blue”), you can use color blocks, images, or styled buttons that make the selection process more engaging and fun for customers.

Swatches (Multi-selectable): This type is similar to the Swatches, but instead of only being selected one you can choose one, two or more values at a time.

  • Default Selection: Pre-select a swatch if you want one to be chosen automatically.

  • Unit Quantity: Define how many units this swatch represents.
  • Additional Description: Add a note for extra context.

With the advanced settings, make your swatches smarter and more dynamic with these features:

  • Tooltip description on Label: Add a helpful note using a small info icon.
  • Display style: Decide the shape of your swatches to best match your product or theme, including circle, square, or rectangular. Also choose how swatches are arranged on the product page, including vertical or horizontal style. 
  • Thumbnail when Hover: Make your swatches interactive by showing a larger preview image. When a shopper hovers over a swatch, a thumbnail pops up showing a clearer preview.
