Core features overview

This section explains how OPTIS Swatch works with your Shopify products, variants, and theme. Understanding these core concepts will help you configure the app correctly and avoid common setup issues.


OPTIS Swatch reads your existing Shopify product variants (such as Color or Size) and converts them into visual swatches / buttons / dropdown menus

  • Works directly with Shopify variants (no new variants are created)

  • Allows swatches to be displayed on:

    • Product pages

    • Collection pages

Product Group lets you group multiple products into a single variant-like experience.

  • Each product acts as a variant option

  • Clicking a grouped option redirects customers to the corresponding product page

  • Useful when each color or style is a separate product in Shopify

  • Updates the product gallery when a variant is selected

  • Displays only images assigned to the selected variant
