# Turn variant options into swatches

This is the core of AWE. Your products already have options like **Color**, **Size**, or **Material** — normally shown as plain dropdowns. **Option styles** turns each option into clickable color / image swatches (or buttons, cards…) on your storefront.

## Steps

1. In the AWE app, open **Option styles**. The table lists every option found in your store, with how many products each one affects.
2. For each option, pick how it should look:

   * **Product page display** — the style shown on product pages (e.g. **Auto image swatch**).
   * **Collection page display** — the style shown on collection pages (choose **No show** to keep them off collection pages — see [Show swatches on product but not collection](/tips/show-swatches-on-product-not-collection.md)).

3. Open any product page on your store to see the option now displayed as swatches.

> **Styles you can pick:** Auto image swatch, Custom swatch, Auto card, Custom card, Button, Dropdown, or Shopify default. To fine-tune how a style looks (shape, size, spacing, width), see [Style your swatches](/swatches/style-your-swatches.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.awecommerce.net/swatches/turn-variant-options-into-swatches.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
