In the popup select the main product, and the elements to display, then click on insert. You should now see a tag, replace the id of the product by the id of the variant, you can find this id when clicking on "Manage variants" in the product edition page. This way, you can have one article per employee which will listall the products with the corect size etc for this employee.

Only a parent product will display from the plugin. If I add the id of a variant nothing will display.

We will have a look to improve that plugin in order to manage the variants too.

I am now getting an "add to wishlist" button instead of an add to cart where the product is a variant. Also, the parent images etc are not available for variants in the inserted product view.

To display your variant name the solution will be to directly write it on your Joomla article To display your variant image the solution will be to directly add an image through your variant configuration page.
