There are two main types of product variation in WooCommerce: variable and grouped. Variable products have multiple variations, each with their own SKU, price, stock options, etc.
Grouped products have multiple products assigned to them, but each product has the same SKU and price. In this article, we’ll take a look at both types of product variation and how to set them up in WooCommerce.
Variable Products
Variable products are those that have multiple variations, each with their own SKU, price, stock options, etc. For example, a t-shirt might come in different sizes and colors. To set up a variable product in WooCommerce, follow these steps:
Variations are a product feature in WooCommerce that allows you to offer multiple products with different options. For example, if you sell shirts, you could offer a variation for each size and color.
To add variations to a product, go to the product page and scroll down to the “Product Data” section. In this section, you will see the “Variations” tab. Click on this tab and then click “Add Variation.”
You will now be able to add variations for your product. First, select the variation attributes that you want to use. For our example, we will use size and color. Next, enter the variation details for each option. Make sure to enter a price for each variation.
Once you have added all of the variations that you want, click on the “Publish” button to save your changes. Your product will now have variations!
- Create a new product or edit an existing one.
- In the Product Data section, select the Variable product type.
- Click the Add Variation button.
- Select the attributes that will be used to create variations. For example, size and color.
- Click the Save Changes button.
Grouped Products
Grouped products are those that have multiple products assigned to them but each product has the same SKU and price. Grouped products are useful for selling related products together.
For example, you might want to sell a t-shirt and a pair of shorts as a set. To set up a grouped product in WooCommerce, follow these steps:
- Create a new product or edit an existing one.
- In the Product Data section, select the Grouped product type.
- Assign Products: Select the products that you want to add to the group. You can search for products by name or SKU.
- Save Changes: Click the button to save your changes.
