VARGAL – Additional Variation Gallery for WooCommerce
VARGAL – Additional Variation Gallery for WooCommerce
Description
Additional variation gallery for WooCommerce is a feature that allows store owners to display a custom set of images for each product variation—such as different colors, sizes, or styles. Instead of showing just one image per variation, it creates a full image gallery tailored to each option a customer selects.
This kind of plugin is essential for stores where visuals play a key role – fashion, beauty, furniture, electronics, and more.

– Show thumbnails with advanced layout options (spacing, position, hover swap)
– Include the main product image or default gallery in variation galleries
