If you run a Shopify store that sells products in multiple colors, sizes, materials, or styles, you already know the problem. Shopify's native variant selector is a plain dropdown — functional, but far from the polished, Amazon-like swatch experience that actually drives conversions.
We built 011BQ Product Swatcher to fix that. It is now live on the Shopify App Store, free to install, and built by the same team behind Zaprep, Flei.ai, and JS2TS.
What Is 011BQ Product Swatcher?
Product Swatcher is a Shopify app that replaces boring dropdowns with rich, visual product options — color swatches, image swatches, text inputs, dropdowns, file uploads, and checkboxes — without touching a line of code. It works on all Shopify themes out of the box and is designed for stores of any size.
Key Features
Dynamic Collection Swatch
When a customer browses swatches on your collection page, product information updates in real-time — Image, Price, Title, and Badges all change instantly based on the selected product or variant. No page reload. No friction. Shoppers see exactly what they are getting before they click through.
Variant Options on Collection Pages
Enable customers to browse all product variants with swatches directly on your collection page. Instead of forcing shoppers to enter every product detail page to discover available colors or sizes, surface the choices right where they browse. This reduces navigation steps and increases add-to-cart rates.
Product Groups
Display related products together on your collection page using swatches. Customers can browse and explore the entire related product family in one place — ideal for product lines, color families, or size ranges that span multiple SKUs in Shopify.
Variant Image Swatch
Show each variant as a clickable image tile rather than a text dropdown. Customers can instantly compare styles side by side, see the price of each variant, and choose to display options stacked or in a slider layout — reducing the time it takes to select the right variant and lowering return rates caused by wrong choices.
Confirm Selection
Prevent wrong-size orders with a built-in selection confirmation step. The Add to Cart button stays disabled until the customer has confirmed their size or option choice. This simple UX guard reduces customer service tickets and post-purchase disappointment — especially for fashion, footwear, and apparel stores.
6 Input Types — One App
Product Swatcher supports six distinct option input types in a single app:
- Color swatches — hex colors or images as clickable chips
- Image swatches — product images or custom icons as selectable tiles
- Text input — for personalization, monograms, or custom text
- Dropdown — familiar select menus with custom styling
- File upload — let customers upload a design or logo
- Checkbox — for add-ons, gift wrapping, or yes/no choices
Conditional Logic
Show or hide options based on what a shopper has already selected. Show a monogram text field only when "Personalized" is chosen. Hide a file upload unless the customer selects "Custom Design." Build guided, context-aware product configuration flows without any custom code or theme edits.
CSV Import & Export
Bulk-manage product variants via CSV. Import your entire catalog's option sets in minutes. Supports Shopify Markets for international stores with multiple currencies and languages.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/month | Up to 10 product groups, all swatch types, all themes |
| Starter | $9.99/month | Unlimited product groups, priority support, all features |
The free plan is genuinely usable — 10 product groups covers most small stores with no trial expiry and no credit card required.
Why We Built It
We have built Shopify stores for clients across fashion, beauty, food, and home goods. In nearly every project, the default Shopify variant selector was the first thing that needed replacing. Most existing swatch apps either have steep pricing, require theme-specific setup, or lack conditional logic and collection-page variant display.
We wanted a swatch app that:
- Works on every theme without theme edits
- Has a real free tier with no time limit
- Supports conditional logic natively
- Shows swatches on collection pages with real-time updates
- Prevents wrong-size orders with a confirm-selection step
Product Swatcher is that app.
How to Install
Product Swatcher is live on the Shopify App Store and free to install.
- Visit the 011BQ Product Swatcher listing on the Shopify App Store
- Click Add app and install to your store
- Open the app dashboard, create a product group, assign your variants, and publish
No coding required. Works with your existing theme immediately after install.
FAQs
Does Product Swatcher work with my theme?
Yes. Product Swatcher works with all Shopify themes — both free and premium — out of the box. No theme edits required.
What is conditional logic in Product Swatcher?
Conditional logic lets you show or hide specific options based on what a shopper has already selected. For example, showing a monogram text field only when the "Personalized" option is chosen, or hiding a size chart unless a specific product category is selected.
Can swatches appear on collection pages?
Yes. Product Swatcher's Dynamic Collection Swatch feature surfaces variant swatches directly on collection and category pages. Image, price, title, and badges all update in real-time as shoppers click through swatches — without leaving the collection view.
What is the Confirm Selection feature?
Confirm Selection disables the Add to Cart button until the customer has explicitly chosen a size or variant. This prevents wrong-size orders and reduces returns — especially useful for footwear, apparel, and sized products.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan supports up to 10 product groups with all swatch types and works on all themes. No credit card required and no trial expiry.
