How the Variation Gallery Works and How to Configure It

Variation Monster Pro for WooCommerce includes a powerful Variation Gallery feature that extends WooCommerce’s default functionality. While standard WooCommerce allows only one image per variation, Variation Monster lets you upload multiple images for each variation, creating a complete image gallery for every option.

This helps customers clearly identify each variation and improves confidence when making a purchase.

What Is the Variation Gallery?

The Variation Gallery displays multiple images for a selected variation. When a customer chooses a variation, all images assigned to that variation are shown as a gallery instead of a single image.

This feature works seamlessly with:

  • Variation Swatches on the single product page
  • Variation Table image clicks
  • Quick View
  • Carousel templates (all supported layouts)
