Show swatches on selected products only
Choose exactly which products get swatches, by picking products and collections. Everything outside your choice keeps the theme's own picker.
Suitable for
Trying the app on a few products first, keeping one brand or collection on its own picker, or leaving out gift cards, bundles and samples.
The three modes
| Mode | Products that get swatches |
|---|---|
| All products | Every product. The default. |
| Only the products I choose | Only the products and collections you add below. |
| All products except the ones I choose | Everything except the products and collections you add below. |
Set up coverage
- 1
Open Where it applies
Go to Where it applies in the app menu.
- 2

The coverage modes - 3
Add products and collections
Click Add products or Add collections and pick from Shopify's picker. Items already in your list come pre-ticked, so you can also untick them there.
Products inside a chosen collection are covered automatically; adding the same product on its own as well changes nothing.
Collections and individual products added to the list - 4
Review the list
Your choices are listed under Collections and Individual products, with a count. Click Remove on anything that shouldn't be there.

Save and let tagging finish
Click Save. The Sync status card shows Applying tags... while the app updates your products, then N products currently tagged.
Important
Only the products I choose needs at least one product or collection. Saving it with an empty list is blocked, because it would turn swatches off on every product.
Good to know
- Coverage applies to product pages and product cards together.
- Switching between Only the products I choose and All products except the ones I choose, or back to All products, takes effect straight away without re-tagging.
- Going back to All products keeps the tags on your products, so you can switch back later without waiting. See How coverage tags work.
- Choosing products is only possible inside the Shopify admin.
Troubleshooting
- Tagging has finished: the Sync status card no longer says Applying tags....
- If a collection gained products after you saved, click Re-apply tags on the Sync status card.
- If someone edited the product's tags by hand, click Re-apply tags.
- If the Sync status card shows Tagging did not finish, your products were left exactly as they were. Fix the issue it names and click Re-apply tags.
