Replaces WooCommerce variation dropdowns with colour, image and label swatches on shop and product pages. Each attribute can be set to a swatch type, with tooltips and a shop-page position setting. It suits WooCommerce stores with colour or size variations that shoppers should see at a glance. It is styled for common themes, with compatibility code for Astra and CartFlows, so unusual themes may need CSS tweaks.
