How Do I Get Product Variations in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 12, 2023 @ 12:02 pm

Product variation is a product type in WooCommerce that lets you offer a set of similar products, each with their own individual prices, stock options, and images.

Product variations can be used for products that come in different sizes, colors, or styles. For example, if you sell t-shirts on your WooCommerce store, you could offer a small, medium, and large size of each shirt design.

To add product variations to a product in WooCommerce:

  1. Go to WooCommerce > Products
  2. Select the product you want to add variations to and click Edit.
  3. Under the Product Data section, select the Variable product type from the dropdown.
  4. Click the + Add Variation button and enter the variation details such as the name, regular price, sale price, stock status, SKU, weight, and more.
  5. Set attributes and attribute values for each product variation.
  6. Click Save Changes when finished.

Benefits of Product Variations:

  • Each variation will have its own SKU and inventory management settings, making it easy to track stock levels and sales separately.
  • Allows customers to easily compare different options for a product without having to navigate away from the product page, which can help increase conversion rates.
  • Improves the customer experience by making it easy to find what they are looking for.
PRO TIP: If you are planning to use WooCommerce to sell products that come in different variations, be aware that there is no built-in way to manage product variations. You will need to either use a third-party plugin or custom code to manage product variations.
