Color Swatches for Shopify

Link related products and replace variant dropdowns with visual swatches. Fast, lightweight, and works with any theme.

Dropdowns don't sell colors

Customers can't tell "Midnight Blue" from "Navy" in a dropdown. They need to see it. When your product options are hidden behind text menus, shoppers hesitate, second-guess, and leave.

And if your colors are split across separate product listings? Good luck expecting customers to find them all. They'll see one, miss the rest, and never know what they're missing.

Platmart Color Swatches fixes both problems. Group related products together with visual swatches, and turn variant dropdowns into clickable color circles and image thumbnails - all from one app.

HOW IT WORKS

Up and running in minutes

1

Add the widget

Enable the app embed in your theme. It auto-detects where to show swatches - no code changes required.

2

Set up swatches

Group related products together with visual swatches, or assign swatch styles to your variant options - colors, images, or buttons.

3

Swatches go live

Swatches appear on product and collection pages. Customers click, browse, and buy - without hunting through your catalog.

CAPABILITIES

Two features, one app

Whether your colors are split across products or bundled as variants, Color Swatches handles both. Start simple and scale up with automations, translations, and an API.

Product Groups

Link separate product listings together with visual swatches. Colors, styles, sizes - if they're split across products, group them so customers can browse without searching.

Variant Swatches

Replace default variant dropdowns with color circles, image thumbnails, or styled buttons. Works automatically with your existing Shopify options.

Collection Page Swatches

Show swatches on collection and search pages too, not just product pages. Customers see available options before they click through.

Works With Any Theme

Online Store 2.0, vintage themes, Horizon - it all works. Auto-detects your theme and finds the right position. No code changes needed.

Bulk Setup Tools

CSV import, collection-based automations, metafield mapping, and a REST API. Start simple, scale without limits.

Translations and Markets

Localize swatch names and option labels for different languages and Shopify Markets. Sell globally without workarounds.

"We were looking for an app that would allow us to show different products as swatches, and that would organise products by collections automatically - this is the only one we found that was able to do it. It runs smoothly both on desktop and mobile, looks great, the support is very helpful."

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you're looking for? Check our help docs.

What's the difference between product groups and variant swatches?

Product groups link separate product listings together (e.g., a blue t-shirt and a red t-shirt that are different products). Variant swatches replace the default dropdowns for options within a single product (e.g., size or color variants). You can use both features together.

Will this slow down my store?

No. Swatches load asynchronously and images are cached on Shopify's CDN. The widget adds no measurable impact to your page speed or Core Web Vitals.

Does it work with my theme?

Yes. We support all free and paid Shopify themes, including Online Store 2.0 and Horizon themes. For custom or rare themes, contact support and we'll help with configuration.

How is this different from Shopify Combined Listings?

Combined Listings is a native Shopify feature with several limitations - it requires specific product structures and doesn't work well with all themes. Product Groups are built on metafields, work with any theme, and give you full control over swatch types, ordering, and appearance. Most merchants find it simpler and more flexible.

Can I customize how swatches look?

Yes. You can choose from 6 swatch types (solid colors, two-tone, custom images, product thumbnails, image with text, and text buttons), adjust sizes, shapes, spacing, and tooltips. For advanced styling, there's a custom CSS field. Swatches are designed to blend in with your theme, not fight it.

What happens when a product is out of stock?

You control it. You can cross out the swatch, hide it completely, or keep it clickable. You can also move out-of-stock swatches to the end of the list so available options show first.

What happens if I uninstall?

The app cleans up after itself - no leftover code in your theme. Your groups and settings are saved for 180 days, so if you come back everything will be right where you left it.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, all plans include a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. Development stores are always free.

Ready to make every color visible?

"Solved a huge problem I had wanting to display each colour variant on category pages but also display all colour options as swatches on each product page."
