Pre-Select Colors Plus Swatches
Please Read | Regarding Recent Negative Reviews
I had to leave town for a few days due to an emergency, and had limited internet access at this time. ALL emails were answered, but included short replies since they were sent via my phone, until I could get back to a computer and continue to support them further. A few customers did not believe this was ok, and submitted negative reviews regardless of being promised help as soon as I was able to return back to a computer. Please do know, we provide support to ALL our customers (for no additional cost), and these customers have been helped, despite the negative reviews. If you have any questions about the extension or our support, please email us, we will be glad to answer any questions!Having trouble deciding between our swatch extensions?

Auto Swatches | Auto Swatches Plus | Pre-Select Colors Plus SwatchesWhy Our Extension?
- We are one of the very first and original swatch extensions for Magento! 3+ years of continued development, so you know our extension is fine tuned and ready for your store!
- No Ion Cube needed! Code is NOT encrypted and completely editable!
- We can customize the extension to fit your needs if you need features that are not already in the extensive feature set!
- See the full feature set below!
Description
Have you ever wished you could display all the available colors of a product in a search result or category listing? Do you like how some websites make it easy for their customers to see all the colors but when you click on a color it links you to the configurable and selects the color automatically for the customer?
With this extension this is now possible! Create a configurable product, set the child simple products to visible, and this module links the simple products to the configurable and pre-selects the color attribute and changes the images to that color!
You can also use this module if you have always wanted color swatches that will change the product image and more view images to match the color selected! Just upload all images to the parent product and easily set the options there. Don't bother making color swatches, because this module will make them for you! And if you need custom colors, you can also upload your custom patterns and swatches in the easy to use swatches panel where you can upload, edit and view your swatches.
This module makes it much easier for the customer to see what they are getting, which in turn creates more sales! Your customers will love this!

About the Developer
This extension was developed by and is supported by chadjmorgan
Pre-Select Colors Plus Swatches 43 43Terrible Support If you want this extension make sure you really know magento well or have a solid magento developer on staff. Any help is almost non-existant. Responses to support request are so slow ( several days ), then the response is useless and not even close to helpful. Don't even bother paying for the services either. Once you pay your $100, nothing happens. You keep requesting services you paid or you'll cancel the charge so they jump in and do the bare minimum claiming they met they obligation. In other words, we got your money too bad. May 18, 2013A joke only, not worth it Okay, after doing the research I decided to buy this plugin (Unlimited license as I have a few websites) I installed this plugin, does not work on product description page, no problem, tried on 2nd domain, same thing, then 3rd domain and the same thing. Contacted seller and got a one line reply after 24 hours which obviously was very unhelpful. So sent another help email and received another reply after another 24 hours which again had no meaning (just telling me that plugin has jquery conflict. Well I know that, whats the solution.) So then the seller asked that to get help, I need to order installation. Else there is no support. Only. Well I even placed the order for installation, and since then its been 2 days now and there is no reply whatsoever. The only method is email and obviously its chad who decides which email to reply and which to not. So you do the math. No support, no contact number, no manual on how to use the plugin, no one seems to answer the questions posted here as well and you can see the hefty price tag yourself :-) May 17, 2013GREAT! Great colour swatches that work a treat and great support from Chad. So just one word to sum up... GREAT! April 9, 2013excellent Plugin! does exactly as described and the support is the best I have experienced! March 29, 2013Highly trusted and recommended. We received timely support from developer on a conflict with a third-party extension and added customizations were executed accurately and ahead of schedule. Highly trusted and recommended. March 20, 2013Great Extension The extension works great so far on our development site. It did not work initially due to our custom theme, but we contacted support to install it correctly, and it was done very quickly, and was even taken care over the weekend. Aside from the initial compatibility hiccup, it's working exactly as it should! March 11, 2013This extension covers a very common requirement. Very interesting! On top of that, i would like to take product prices from simple products on product detail page of configurable products. I am using Simple Configurable Products for that (http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html) Will both extension be compatible? Or would you recommend to extend your extension instead? Thanks a lot! January 21, 2013Very robust and well-engineered extension. Quick support from developer. Required some modifications but well worth the effort. January 15, 2013Have purchased two extensions (Ultimate Swatches, Stock Status) from CJM. Both great extensions from an end-user UI/UX standpoint, both with excellent admin interface and documentation. CJM has been exceptionally helpful and very timely/patient in providing answers to our questions. In addition, we required some customization, which has been executed quickly and effectively at a very fair price. Will be looking out for new extensions from CJM in the future. Recommended without reservation. December 23, 2012I purchased the plugin and it works great. Thank you. However, there is one feature which I'm not sure if it's included in the plugin or not... If I have a shirt with 3 colors (Red, Green and Blue), regardless of which color I add to the cart, on the shopping cart page it always shows the base image. Is there anyway if I add the green shirt, the green picture shows up, and if I add the red shirt the red picture shows up on the shopping cart page. This might be confusing for the visitor, when they add a certain color to the cart, but only the base picture shows up on the shopping cart page, which is sometimes a different color then the one the visitor has selected.
