**Additional Variation Images Gallery for WooCommerce** (developed by **GetWooPlugins/Emran Ahmed**) is a vital tool for store owners who want to overcome the default WooCommerce limitation of only one image per product variation.
By allowing you to add **multiple images** for each specific variation (like color, size, or style), you can show your customers the exact product from every angle, which significantly improves conversion rates and reduces returns.
## Key Features & User Experience
* **Multiple Images Per Variation:** Instead of showing the same gallery for every color, the entire gallery updates instantly when a customer picks a different variation.
* **Smart Gallery Controls:** Includes built-in support for **Image Zoom**, **Lightbox** popups, and a responsive **Thumbnail Slider**.
* **Drag-and-Drop Sorting:** Reorder your variation images easily within the product edit screen to control which angle the customer sees first.
* **Video Support (Pro):** The premium version allows you to embed **YouTube, Vimeo, or self-hosted videos** directly into the variation gallery.
* **Theme Compatibility:** Designed to work with major themes like **Astra, Flatsome, OceanWP, and Divi** right out of the box.

## How to Set It Up
The plugin is remarkably easy to use because it integrates directly into the standard WooCommerce "Variations" workflow:
1. **Installation:** Install and activate the plugin from the WordPress repository.
2. **Edit Product:** Go to your **Variable Product** and click on the **Variations** tab.
3. **Add Images:** Look for the new **"Add Gallery Images"** button under each variation.
4. **Upload:** Select your additional photos from the Media Library.
5. **Save:** Click "Save Changes" and update the product.
> **Pro Tip:** For the best performance, ensure you have a "Main" product image set for the parent product as a fallback. If you use a **Variation Swatches** plugin, this gallery works perfectly with it to create a high-end, professional shopping experience.

## Strategic Benefit: Boosting Trust
> **Visual Clarity:** If a customer selects "Midnight Blue," seeing five photos of that specific blue shirt—front, back, fabric detail, and on a model—is far more convincing than seeing one blue shirt and then a generic gallery of red and white shirts.
**Would you like me to find a specific tutorial on how to reorder your images using the drag-and-drop feature, or are you looking for a recommendation for a "Variation Swatches" plugin that pairs well with this gallery?**
