How to Upload Additional Variation Images Per Product Variations in WooCommerce

insert Additional Variation Images per product variations

A variable product is not complete without having good product images with each item you sell. Having additional variation images to a WooCommerce product can help shoppers imagine the item in person.

WooCommerce product attribute variation helps make sales based on color, size, style, and many more. Unfortunately, it allows you to add only a single image for each variable product.

By default, WooCommerce allows you to swap the main variation image. That means you are not allowed to swap the gallery images below it. But you may want to show different images of each product’s variation to your store visitors.

That’s where you need a WooCommerce extension. WooCommerce Additional Variation Images Gallery plugin allows you to upload multiple images per product variation. In addition, it lets you add videos to your WooCommerce product images gallery.
