Choose a display style
Each option can be shown in one of twelve display styles. Pick the one that fits the kind of values it has: colours, photos, short text or long lists.
Note
The product page and product cards have separate styles. Product cards offer seven of the twelve: the ones that fit in a product grid.
Prerequisites
Your products have variants (for example Color: Red, Blue; Size: S, M, L).
If an option is missing from the list, sync your catalog first.

Save
Click Save in the save bar at the top of the Shopify admin, then refresh a product page on your store.
Every style can be resized and restyled in Styles. This page describes the display types themselves.
Swatches
A value can have both a colour and an image
On the Values page you can give a value a colour and an image. The three swatch styles below differ in which one they draw: Color swatch takes the colour, Image swatch takes the image, Variant image takes the variant's own photo.
Each one falls back to the other when its own is missing, so an option is never left with empty chips while you finish mapping it.
Color swatch
A chip filled with the colour you set for the value. Values with two colours, such as Black / White, show as a chip split in half.
If a value has no colour but does have an image, the image is used instead.
Suitable for
Colour options with plain colours.
Image swatch
A chip filled with the image you uploaded for the value, such as a fabric texture or a print.
If a value has no image, its colour is used instead.
Suitable for
Patterns, materials and finishes that look the same on every product.
Variant image
A chip showing each variant's own product photo. Nothing to map: the photo comes straight from the variant in Shopify.
When a variant has no photo of its own, the swatch falls back to the value's image, then its colour.
Suitable for
Almost any option where the variants look different, especially colour. This is the app's starting style for colour options.
Polaroid
A larger photo card with the value name printed underneath, like a small product card.
Suitable for
Product pages where the photo itself sells the choice: prints, designs, models. Product page only.
Swatch in pill
A small colour dot and the value name together in a rounded pill.
Suitable for
Colours whose names matter (Sage, Oat, Stone) or colours that are hard to tell apart.
Buttons
Buttons
Each value as a text button with a border. The selected value is filled.
Suitable for
Size and other short text values.
Button pill
Fully rounded text buttons.
Suitable for
The same values as Buttons, with a softer look.
Button (no border)
Text buttons without a border.
Suitable for
Minimal themes where borders feel heavy.
Button with price
Text buttons that also show each value's price.
Suitable for
Values that cost different amounts, such as sizes or pack quantities. Product page only.
Dropdowns
Dropdown
A compact menu that opens a list of values.
Suitable for
Long lists of text values that would crowd the page. Product page only.
Dropdown with swatches
A menu where every value has a small colour chip next to its name, and the selected colour shows on the closed menu.
Suitable for
Long lists of colours. Product page only.
Theme default
The app draws nothing for this option and leaves it to your theme.
Important
The app replaces a product's whole picker, not single options. If any option on a product uses Theme default, the app steps back for that product entirely and your theme's picker shows all of its options.

Troubleshooting
- You clicked Save after changing the style.
- The product page block and the collection embed are on.
- For colour styles, the option shows Ready (every value has a colour or image).
- No style rule gives this product a different style. Test with a product on the Style rules page shows what each option resolves to.
