<h2>Smart Variations & Attributes Display</h2>
<p><strong>Smart Variations & Attributes Display</strong> is built for WooCommerce store owners who want to give their variable products a premium look and feel. Instead of hiding product variations inside dropdowns, this plugin allows you to present each variation as its own product on the shop and category pages — perfect for color, size, or material-based items.</p>
<p>You can enable a <strong>dual display mode</strong>: let users toggle between a full product list view and a clean dropdown view, depending on how they prefer to shop. The <strong>Quick View popup</strong> makes it even easier—shoppers can browse and add items to the cart without leaving the current page.</p>
<p>Thanks to <strong>dynamic image switching</strong>, customers get a clear, visual confirmation of what they’re selecting. This not only makes your store more engaging but also reduces return rates. Whether you’re looking to improve discoverability, speed up checkout, or customize variation visibility at a granular level—this plugin offers the tools to do it.</p>

<h1>Allow Customers to Upload Files with Orders</h1>
<p>Does your store create custom orders or sell a product or service <span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px">that requires customer documentation? The <strong>File Upload for WooCommerce</strong> extension allows your customers</span> to upload files with their orders.</p>
<p><strong>File Upload for WooCommerce</strong> also allows store owners to require uploads (make them mandatory) and charge fees for them. Fees can be based on a percentage or a fixed amount. Store owners can charge a fee for all uploads or a separate fee for each upload.</p>
<p><strong>File Upload for WooCommerce </strong>adds an Upload button to pages you assign that may include product, Cart, Checkout, or order-detail pages.</p>

<h2>Who needs a file upload option?</h2>
<h3>Personalized Products</h3>
<p>Stores that sell made-to-order products, like custom printing, may need customers to upload event details or a company logo to complete an order.</p>

For example, a store might need proof of age or a copy of a buyer’s wholesale or tax information to complete an order or create an account. <strong>File Upload for WooCommerce </strong>gives store owners the option of requiring an upload of information before the customer adds items to their carts or places an order.</p>
