Variation galleries are now included in WooCommerce—no extra extension required. You can give every color, style, material, or other product variation its own gallery of images.
When a shopper selects a variation, the product gallery automatically switches to show its full set of images.
More helpful product galleries, less to manage.
Functionality previously available through the WooCommerce Additional Variation Images extension is now built into WooCommerce at no additional cost. Variation galleries also work with the latest WooCommerce blocks, including the Product Gallery and Add to Cart blocks.
If you already use the standalone Additional Variation Images extension, your existing galleries will continue to work. When you update to WooCommerce 11.1, your images carry over automatically and the extension deactivates to prevent conflicts. You’ll have the same functionality, with one less extension and subscription to manage.
This feature is a great fit for stores selling clothing, furniture, home goods, electronics, or any product that shoppers benefit from seeing in different colors, styles, configurations, or angles.
How to get it
Update to WooCommerce 11.1, then open any variable product and select Variations. Open a variation and select Manage next to Variation gallery to add images. Drag and drop the images to arrange them in your preferred order. The first image becomes the variation’s primary image.
Check out the documentation for more details.
The feature is enabled automatically when you update to WooCommerce 11.1. If you already use Additional Variation Images, there’s nothing else you need to do—your existing images will continue to work.
