How Do I Hide Variations in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:22 pm

There are a few different ways that you can go about hiding variations in WooCommerce. One way is to simply not list them on your product page. This can be done by going to the product page and unchecking the “list” option for each variation that you want to hide.

Another way to hide variations is by using a plugin. There are a few plugins that will let you do this, but we recommend using the HideVariations plugin. This plugin lets you hide variations based on user roles, so you can easily hide variations from customers while still being able to see them yourself in the backend.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products that come in different variations (e.g. sizes, colors, etc.), it is important to make sure that your customers can easily select the variation they want. Otherwise, they may get confused and end up buying the wrong product.

To help avoid this, you can hide the variations that are not available for purchase. For example, if a customer is looking at a product that only comes in one size, you can hide the size variation drop-down menu so they can’t select a different size.

However, you should be careful about using this feature too liberally, as it can make your store seem unprofessional and disorganized. If you have a lot of products with many variations, it might be better to leave all the variations visible and add a note next to each one explaining which ones are currently available.

Lastly, you can also hide variations by making them private. Private variations can only be seen and purchased by users who have the direct URL to the variation. This is a great option if you only want certain people to be able to purchase a particular variation.

No matter which method you choose, hiding variations in WooCommerce is easy and can be done in just a few minutes.
