Product Description

Have you ever wanted to be able to set the default value for options on configurable products? We did! So we decided to build this into our stores.

The default behavior in Magento for configurable products is for the options to default to "Choose an option". There is no way to specify a default value to automatically be selected. This extension lets you pick default values for each option in a configurable product.

We use this added feature for:

Allowing us to default options to the most popular options to save customers those extra few clicks
Lets us display search and category listings with all our available color options - just like Zappos!

Our Solution

To add this feature to our stores, we developed an extension that lets you select the default value for each configurable option.

The extension adds radio buttons on the product edit page next to the configurable options, allowing you to specify a default value. Then on the frontend, there is logic to set the correct values in the product option dropdowns.

We were able to do this without any modification to core code. So there is no need to worry about complications when upgrading Magento to newer versions.
