<h3>🏆 What Makes This Plugin Different?</h3>
Other swatches plugins give you basic color and image swatches. We go further — with two features that are usually premium-only, included for free:
<ol>
<li>
Variation Image Gallery — Upload unlimited images per variation. When a customer selects “Red / Large”, they see a complete photo gallery of that exact combination. Other plugins charge $49+ for this feature alone!
</li>
<li>
Stock Count by Variation — Show customers exactly how many items are left for each specific variation (e.g., “Red / Medium: Only 5 left!”). This creates buying urgency (FOMO) and helps customers make faster decisions. No other free swatches plugin offers this.
</li>
</ol>
