Impact: 65 · Confidence: 90 · Complexity: 65

Description

Problem: WooCommerce core introduced native attribute Color Swatches, but WooCommerce currently restricts this setting/feature to block themes. When Neve is active, WooCommerce hides 'Color swatches for attributes' under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features.

Desired Behavior: Neve should provide necessary theme support declarations or template compatibility hooks so WooCommerce core native Color Swatches can be enabled and rendered on classic product attribute selections.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Declare compatibility/support for WooCommerce core native attribute color swatches in Neve.
  • Ensure color swatch options under WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features remain visible and functional when Neve is active.
  • Correctly display native color swatches on Neve classic single product and archive pages.

Customer Context

Customer Ethan from Meckeys wants to use WooCommerce core's native Color Swatches feature without relying on third-party plugins or paid add-ons, but the setting is unavailable under WooCommerce Settings while Neve theme is active.

Root Cause Analysis

The customer wants to use WooCommerce 10.9's new native core features (Shopper Wishlists and Attribute Color Swatches) with Neve. The underlying problem is that WooCommerce limits these experimental core features to block themes and block-based product templates (such as the Add to Cart with Options block). Neve uses classic WooCommerce templates, causing WooCommerce to hide the Color Swatches setting and prevent native Wishlist buttons from rendering on Neve single product pages. While Neve Pro offers proprietary wishlist/swatch features via Sparks, supporting core WooCommerce native implementations in Neve's classic theme architecture requires net-new compatibility integration in Neve.

Reasoning

The customer is requesting compatibility support in Neve (classic WooCommerce templates) for two newly introduced native WooCommerce core features: (1) core WooCommerce Wishlists and (2) core WooCommerce Color Swatches. Currently, WooCommerce limits these native features to block themes and block-based product templates (e.g., Add to Cart with Options block), making them unavailable or hidden when running Neve's classic WooCommerce templates. Because Neve Pro offers its own standalone wishlist and variation swatches features via Sparks/Booster, supporting WooCommerce core's native implementations in classic Neve templates represents net-new product compatibility capabilities. Each requested native feature compatibility ask is distinct and tracked as its own feature request.
