## Description

If your store sells products with many color, pattern, or fabric variations — hijabs,
sarees, cosmetics, fabric rolls, jewelry — WooCommerce’s default variation dropdown
is a poor way to shop. Customers can’t see what they’re choosing until they click
through each option one at a time.

**Digitallo Variant Cards for WooCommerce** replaces that dropdown with a responsive
grid of photo cards. Each variation gets its own image, price, and an independent**
Add to Cart** button — customers see every option at a glance and add exactly the
one they want in a single click, with no page reload.

#### Why use a grid instead of a dropdown?

 * Customers see all variations visually before choosing, instead of guessing from
   a text label
 * Each variation adds to cart independently and instantly (AJAX, no page reload)
 * Works well for stores with 10, 30, or 50+ variations of a single product
 * No page speed hit from unnecessary swatch plugins — this is a lightweight, single-
   purpose tool

#### Features

 * Displays each variation as a card: image, name, price, and its own Add to Cart
   button
 * AJAX add-to-cart per card, with loading and “Added!” confirmation states
 * Automatically lists all variation names as pills above the grid (e.g. “Colors:
   Red, Blue, Green…”)
 * Per-product toggle from the Variations tab — turn the grid on only where it makes
   sense
 * Optional global rule to auto-enable the grid for any variable product with N+
   variations
 * Configurable grid columns for desktop, tablet, and mobile
 * Option to hide the theme’s default dropdown/quantity/Add to Cart form when the
   grid is active
 * Out-of-stock variations can be greyed out or hidden entirely
 * `[dvcw_variant_grid id="123"]` shortcode — place the grid anywhere: a custom 
   tab, the product description, or via a page builder
 * Template override support — copy `templates/variation-grid.php` into `yourtheme/
   dvcw/` to fully customize the markup
 * Works alongside any WooCommerce-compatible theme; no theme editing required
 * Translation-ready
 * Compatible with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) and Cart/Checkout
   blocks

#### Who is this for?

Any WooCommerce store where a single product comes in many visual variations — fashion(
hijabs, sarees, scarves), cosmetics (shades), fabrics, jewelry, stationery, and 
similar catalogs where photos sell better than text labels.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the zip via **Plugins
    Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Go to **WooCommerce  Variant Cards** to set default columns and behavior.
 4. Edit a variable product, open the **Variations** tab, and check **“Variant Cards”**—
    or turn on the global auto-enable rule instead of doing this per product.
 5. View the product on the frontend to see the grid in place of the dropdown.

## FAQ

### Does this work with any theme?

Yes. The plugin does not require theme edits. If your theme renders the default 
variation form in an unusual way (a swatch plugin, or a block-based product template),
enable **“Hide default variation selector”** in the plugin settings — this hides
the old form with CSS rather than relying on removing theme-specific code hooks,
so it works across setups.

### Will this slow down my product pages?

No extra database queries beyond what WooCommerce already runs to load a variable
product’s variations. Images use `loading="lazy"`, and the plugin’s CSS/JS only 
load on product pages.

### Can I control which products use the grid?

Yes. Enable it per product from the Variations tab, or turn on the global setting
to auto-enable it for any variable product with a minimum number of variations —
you can still override that per product.

### Can I put the grid somewhere other than the default position?

Yes, use the `[dvcw_variant_grid id="123"]` shortcode. Omit `id` to use the current
product when placed inside a product page.

### Does it support variation images?

Yes — each card uses the variation’s own image if one is set, and falls back to 
the parent product’s image otherwise.

### Can I customize the card design?

Yes, for developers: copy `templates/variation-grid.php` from the plugin into `yourtheme/
dvcw/variation-grid.php` and edit the markup freely — the plugin will use your theme’s
copy automatically. A `dvcw_add_to_cart_button_class` filter is also available if
you only need to change the Add to Cart button’s classes to match your theme.

### Does this plugin track or send any data externally?

No. All add-to-cart requests are processed locally via your site’s own AJAX endpoint.
Nothing is sent to any third-party server.

## Changelog

#### 0.3.2

 * Added the missing phpcs:ignore on the $product re-assignment line inside maybe_swap_template()(
   the global declaration was already covered; the reassignment right after it needed
   its own inline note).

#### 0.3.1

 * Prefixed local template variables to satisfy Plugin Check’s naming scan.
 * Added inline documentation for two accepted false-positive flags (accessing WooCommerce’s
   own $product global, and calling WooCommerce’s own woocommerce_add_to_cart_validation
   filter — neither is a plugin-declared global/hook).

#### 0.3.0

 * Renamed the plugin to Digitallo Variant Cards for WooCommerce (from Variation
   Grid for WooCommerce) for directory naming compliance.
 * Renamed all functions, classes, option/meta keys, AJAX actions, and the shortcode
   tag to use a distinct `dvcw` prefix.
 * Removed the Plugin URI header.

#### 0.2.1

 * Fixed text domain to match the assigned plugin slug (digitallo-variant-cards-
   for-woocommerce).
 * Removed deprecated load_plugin_textdomain() call — WordPress.org auto-loads translations
   for hosted plugins.
 * Added explicit nonce verification in the product meta save handler.
 * Explicitly sanitized the quantity input in the AJAX add-to-cart handler.

#### 0.2.0

 * Simplified settings screen to layout/behavior essentials.
 * Button colors, corner radius, and color-summary label/count now use fixed sane
   defaults (reserved for a future Pro tier’s expanded settings).

#### 0.1.0

 * Initial release.
