Hello,
“Show variations as simple product” option displays all the variations of the variable product as the single products on the shop page. For example, if you have product with 2 colors and 2 sizes you’ll get 4 simple products on grid (every color with every size).
Case 1. If you filter by color and the option is disabled then you’ll get the variable product as a result of your filter. You won’t get a variation on the grid, only the default variable product that has mentioned variation.
Case 2. If you enable the option and filter by the color you’ll get all the possible variations with this color because this is what that option does: splits the variable products into a few simple products on the frontend. You have also option “Hide Parent Product Of Variations” in this case you’ll get only variations on the frontend. If “Hide Parent Product Of Variations” option is disabled then you’ll get parent product (your variable product) + all the variations you have.
Besides, our theme comes with an Ajax filter option and variation swatches, so there is no need to use third-party plugins.
