    Hi everyone,

    as per the tile of the post, I am struggling in looking for a plugin that allows me to set more than one external link for each variable of a product.

    As per the way WooCommerce is built, it allows to set only 1 external link per product.

    Does anyone know if there is a plugin would help me to get as many external affiliate links as many the variations of a products are?

    I have found only this one but its last update id dated 2 years ago
    https://wpovernight.com/downloads/improved-external-products-pro/

    Basically for every variable you can see on this page (colors and size) https://www.screencast.com/t/NzLhy7hPA2M I would like to have the URL on the button Get it on google changing according to the variable selected.

    I hope I have made it clear ??

    thanks in advance

    I don’t know of a plugin that would allow you to do this, but you can do it using custom code:

    Hi Hannah,
    thank you so much for your message. I had seen this page already but it is Greek to me. I do not know where to add this code and if I have to add all of it.

    That is why I was looking for a plugin which would add everything for me ??

    thanks,
    Marco

    It doesn’t look like a plugin exists yet – you’d need to use that code, or work with a developer to get it done.

    Hi Hannah,
    Where would you enter the said code? Does this go into my child themes functions.php
    or into the WooCmmerce plugin folder?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the information provided so far in this thread.

    This feature would be a good addition to WooCommerce, either as a plugin or as an enhancement.

    My current client sells e-books directly to customers and refers them to another vendor for a print version. It would be helpful to put both cases into a variable product record.

    For now we are working around the lack of an “external” option in variable products with this approach:
    (1) Disable the “Add to cart” button by setting the print product as “out of stock”;
    (2) Use the short description field to give a link to the print vendor’s product page;
    (3) Add a CSS rule to suppress the display of the disabled “Add to cart” button.
