How to Add Color Swatches to Your WooCommerce Store
Last updated: August 2026
This walks through the video above step by step. The result: clickable color swatches on your WooCommerce product pages, right inside your Swiffle Grid — no code required.
Step 1 — Create the Color attribute
Go to Products → Attributes in your WordPress admin. Create a new attribute named “Color”, then check the “Base color?” box to enable color swatches for this attribute.
The “Color” attribute, with “Base color?” checked.
ℹ️ The “Base color?” checkbox is what tells Swiffle Grid to render this attribute as clickable color swatches, instead of a plain dropdown list.
Step 2 — Add a term and pick its color
Click “Configure terms” for your new attribute, then create your first term (for example “Blue”). Use the color picker to set its base color.
Picking the base color for the “Blue” term.
Step 3 — Repeat for every color
Repeat the process for every color you want to offer on your products. Here, a second term, “Red”, is created with its own base color.
“Blue” is saved; “Red” is being created.
Step 4 — Assign colors to your variations
On your product page, in “Variable product” mode, assign each color to its variations. Every color/size combination becomes its own product variation.
Product variations with “Blue” and “Red” assigned.
Result
Your store now shows beautiful color swatches, clickable right on the product card — a small detail that makes a real difference in the shopping experience.
