So this product was made through inkthreadable and you can see the colours are a drop down. This product was made through Woocommerce and the colour swatch is displaying correctly
Hi CoachDom,
Thank you for reaching out. It seems there’s a mix of global and custom attributes for color in your setup. SMart Variations Images relies on global attributes (like attribute_pa_colour) to consistently apply swatches across products. Custom attributes (like attribute_colour), defined at the product level, don’t support this because they vary in formatting and usage, which can lead to errors and performance issues.
To ensure your swatches display correctly, please set Attribute is Taxonomy to 1 in your CSV imports to treat attributes as global. This method avoids the inconsistencies and technical challenges of matching custom to global attributes and maintains optimal site performance.
Best regards,
David
