Advanced swatches style customization options

Do you want different swatches styling for your store? Botiga Pro comes with advanced options to style the product swatches. For it go to Appearance > Customize > Product Swatches (Style) and select one of the swatches type you wish to style (or all of them):

When you click to style one of the swatches type, you’ll be presented with the options below. In this documentation we’ll outline the ‘Color’ swatch options, but the same applies to the other types of swatches.

There’s 3 main areas where product swatches are rendered: Single Product, Shop Catalog and Filter Widgets. You can style each of these areas through the options above. By default the Shop Catalog and Filter Widgets areas will inherit the Single Product options but as you can see above, you might change it at any time.
