Why We need to Improve WooCommerce Product Variations feature?
I chose WooCommerce because it had variable pricing and working with WordPress very well. I experienced with WordPress for several years ago then I don’t want to start again with a new platform. That feature allows you to create specific products that have several variations, for example, sizes, colors, materials and more… So WooCommerce is the best choice to start a small shop.
Variable Products in WooCommerce allows you to add variations to a single product such as color, size, price, images or any other specific feature your product might have. This includes setting up attributes, terms, and variations. By default, WooCommerce display product variation (options) as a drop-down list. It’s simple but looks ugly and your customers haven’t complete overview about their interested products.
Using color and image swatches provides a much nicer way to display the available colors of a product, available styles, available sizes, or pretty much anything else that you can display using an image or color.
So let’s just start today’s round up of showing you 10 plugins that hopefully has something that will push your WooCommerce store up and running better than before!
