Reviews

I’ve been using this plugin for a really long time without any problems at all. Recently I decided to do an overhaul of my site, and one of the plugins I added caused a conflict with ‘GS Variation Swatches for WooCommerce’ (See ‘Possible plugin conflict with Smush – Compress, Optimize and Lazy Load Images’ in support area). The support I received was amazing, and everything was humming along nicely in no time at all. Highly recommend the plugin for the added functionality to provides, and if you have any trouble at all the support is fantastic!

It does not work. No labels for product variations, only empty boxes.
