Getting started

Installing Swatchline Pro

Upload the Swatchline Pro zip, activate it next to Swatchline, and enter your license key.

Note

This is part of Swatchline Pro.

Swatchline Pro is an add-on: it adds shop swatches, per-product swatches, sold-out styles, more swatch types and filter swatches to Swatchline, which stays installed and keeps doing everything else. You need both.

Before you start

  • WooCommerce and Swatchline 1.0.0 or later, installed and active. If you don't have Swatchline yet, install it from Plugins → Add New Plugin (search for "Swatchline"); see Installation.
  • The swatchline-pro.zip file and the license key from your purchase email. Both are in the email Lemon Squeezy sent after you bought Swatchline Pro.

Install and activate

  1. Go to Plugins → Add New Plugin and click Upload Plugin at the top.
  2. Choose swatchline-pro.zip and click Install Now.
  3. Click Activate Plugin.

WordPress won't activate Swatchline Pro while Swatchline or WooCommerce is inactive; it lists what's missing instead. Activate those first.

Enter your license key

Back on the Plugins screen, there's a box under Swatchline Pro:

The license box under Swatchline Pro on the Plugins screen
  1. Paste the license key from your purchase email.
  2. Click Activate.

The box turns green and shows the end of your key and, for a yearly license, the date your updates run until. See Licenses and updates for moving it to another site.

Note

The features work as soon as the plugin is active, with or without a license. The license is what lets WordPress download updates.

Check it works

  • Your shop and category pages show swatches under variable products. See Shop page swatches.
  • Variable products have a Swatches tab in the Product data box. See Per-product swatches.
  • WooCommerce → Settings → Products → Swatches has a Swatchline Pro group of settings after Swatchline's.
