woocommerce attribute swatches

Woocommerce Attribute Swatches matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around protecting product discovery, variant selection, and add-to-cart conversion, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: Stores lose sales when product pages, catalogs, variant selectors, filters, or product media make items hard to inspect or buy. The entry wedge is to audit product-page conversion paths, variant selection, catalog ordering, media display, and add-to-cart handoffs.
