Togglix Variation Switcher for WooCommerce

Description

Togglix Variation Switcher for WooCommerce helps customers update selected variation attributes (size, color, material, etc.) without leaving the purchase flow.

Instead of removing a variable product and searching again on the product page, the customer can click Edit next to the line item, choose another valid combination, and update the existing cart line with AJAX.

The plugin supports both block-based (WooCommerce Blocks) and classic Cart/Checkout experiences, includes runtime compatibility controls, and adds analytics to monitor usage and outcomes.

Key Features

  • Edit variable products directly from Cart and Checkout
  • Works with both WooCommerce Blocks and classic templates
  • Cart-line-aware updates using cart item keys (better accuracy when similar products exist in cart)
  • Optional variation preview panel (price, SKU, stock, image)
  • Inventory-aware switching (only purchasable combinations)
  • Per-product overrides (disable switcher or custom Edit label)
  • Rules engine (roles, coupon state, include/exclude products/categories/tags)
  • Compatibility profiles + Safe mode for conflict handling
  • Analytics with date range, conversion rate, failed reason breakdown, chart, top products, and CSV export
  • Translation-ready (languages/togglix-variation-switcher-for-woocommerce.pot)
