How can I show product swatches on my category page?

To display product swatches on category pages, enable swatch visibility in the Pearl Theme settings.



Enable Swatches on Category Pages


Go to: Pearl Theme → Theme Options → Category Page → Swatch Options


  • Display Swatches — Show swatches on products in category pages:

Options: No / Yes / On Hover


Set this to Yes (always visible) or On Hover to show swatches on category pages.



Additional Swatch Options


In Pearl Theme → Theme Options → Category Page → Swatch Options:

  • Display Swatch Tooltip — Show a tooltip when hovering over swatches on category pages:

Options: Yes / No


In WeltPixel → Category Page → Item Swatch Options:

  • Radius — Swatch border radius (px)
  • Width — Swatch width (px)
  • Height — Swatch height (px)
  • Font Size — Swatch font size (px)
  • Swatch Align — Alignment on category items (left / center)

  • If swatches still don’t show on Category Pages, check Product Pages:
  • If swatches are missing on Product Pages too, it’s likely a product configuration or Magento swatch setup issue.



Notes on Magento Swatch Configuration


Pearl Theme uses Magento’s default swatch configuration. For setup guidance, see the official Magento documentation:
