This plugin lets you decide, per attribute or per product, whether those options should appear as:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>A standard (but cleaned-up) drop-down.<\/li>\n<li>A clear, one-click <strong>radio button<\/strong> group.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Use it when you want customers to see all choices at once (radio) or keep things compact (drop-down), without writing custom code or editing templates.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What this plugin does<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Replace variation dropdowns with radio buttons for easier selection.<\/li>\n<li>Keep dropdowns, but make them clearer and more consistent.<\/li>\n<li>Mix dropdowns and radio buttons on the same product when it makes sense.<\/li>\n<li>Keep using WooCommerce's built-in variation logic for price, stock, and images.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Key features<\/h3>\n\n<ul>\n<li><p><strong>Per-attribute display control<\/strong>\nChoose whether an attribute like Size or Color should render as a drop-down or as a radio button group.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Per-product overrides<\/strong>\nOverride the default behavior on individual products if they need a different UI.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Improved dropdown UX<\/strong>\nOptionally refine labels \/ placeholders so dropdowns are easier to understand (e.g. \"Choose a size\" instead of a blank first option).<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>Clear radio button groups<\/strong>\nShow all options at once with radio buttons, so customers can pick the right variant with a single click.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p><strong>WooCommerce-native<\/strong>\nWorks with standard WooCommerce attributes, terms, and variable products.
