New Simple Variation Swatches features needed

Hi, I want the variation products to be displayed as simple products on the shop pages with color swatches shown beneath the simple products. (example: https://www.gobicashmere.com/collections/accessories-socks) At the moment, when “Variations as simple products (beta) ” feature is enabled, only the product title can be changed. But the color swatches are missing. I want to swatches to be shown beneath the simple products as well. I also want to have the option to choose which variation products to be displayed as simple products. I don’t want all variation products to be changed to simple products when the feature is enabled. Please let me know if you can add this new feature for me. Thanks, Jimmy

Hello @jimmy, As I already wrote before, we prioritize requests based on the number of votes they receive. Therefore, we must wait to see if this request is needed to be implemented. If you would like to pursue paid customization services, we recommend submitting a customization request to the Codeable team via their website: https://www.codeable.io/?ref=qGTdX Thanks for understanding !

Hi Jack, The Codeable developer has the following question for you: "My developer from Codeable says they can help me with my request of having the "Variations as Simple Products" feature apply to specific products that I select, instead of a blanket ON/OFF that applies to all of them. However, as they will necessarily need the feature to be closely integrated with XStore, they would like to know if you would be willing to add any missing hooks (either actions or filters) that could potentially missing from XStore and that they would yes or yes need in order to properly customize it from their custom plugin, without modifying any XStore core file." Could you please give me an answer for that？ Thanks Jimmy

Thanks for your reply Jack, I'd be happy to pay for the changes, please let us know how much it would cost. Regarding the second question, I am mainly referring to the color variation. I want some products to be displayed as variation products, but some as simple products. I really need this feature, looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Jimmy

Hello @jimmy Thank you for sharing your idea with us. As you know, we prioritize requests based on the number of votes they receive. Therefore, we must wait to see if this request is needed to be implemented. About your 2nd question "I also want to have the option to choose which variation products to be displayed as simple products." -> Please go to Theme Options > WooCommerce > Shop elements > Variation swatches > Primary Attribute > change the attribute here, or set None.
