Avoid products with thousands of variations

    Hi,

    I have read this topic

    LINK

    and I have the same problem but its a little bit more complex.

    I have attributes for custom made furniture:
    Variant (A or B) – price doesnt matter here
    Size (100×100, 100×120, 100×140, 120 x 120, 120 x 150, etc..) – price is different for each size
    Wood color (regular colors, premium glossy colors) – price differs, premium is 50% more expensive
    Seating material (material 1, material 2, material 3, material 4) – material 3 and 4 is more expensive (+20%)
    Regular colors (c1, c2, c3, c4)
    Premium glossy colors (p1, p2, p3, p4)
    Material 1 colors (c1, c2, c3)
    Material 2 colors (a1, a2, a3)
    Material 3 colors (b1, b2, b3)
    Material 4 colors (d1, d2, d3)

    and now depending on what the customer selects in Wood color (regular or premium), he will have to be able to select the exact color, which has to show after he selects either regular or premium. Same applies to Seating material, if he selects for example material 3, image icons from material 3 colors will have to show so he can select the exact color.

    How can I acheive that? I dont want to buy a plugin, which wont be able to do this and I want to avoid generating thousands of variations, if possible.

    Hi there,

    How can I acheive that? I dont want to buy a plugin, which wont be able to do this and I want to avoid generating thousands of variations, if possible.

    If you don’t want to buy a plugin then the only thing I can think off:

    * Create a PDF with the options and collect the info with it.
    * Have your customers type out the options in the order notes in checkout.

    Kind regards,

    @conschneider hi,

    I already bought 2 plugins, which are not a big help. I have product swatches and bulk product variations.

    https://getwooplugins.com/plugins/woocommerce-variation-swatches/
    https://www.storeapps.org/product/bulk-variations-manager/

    I am open to buy plugin if it helps me.

    Hi again,

    In that case, I think you need a product form that is able to handle conditional logic and add product options for you.

    and now depending on what the customer selects in Wood color (regular or premium), he will have to be able to select the exact color, which has to show after he selects either regular or premium. Same applies to Seating material, if he selects for example material 3, image icons from material 3 colors will have to show so he can select the exact color.

    Conditional logic takes care of “show A, if B is selected.”. I personally like Gravity Forms much. This can be combined with WooCommerce Gravity Forms Product Add-ons to create what you describe.

    As for the plugins you bought so far:
    WooCommerce Variation Swatches exchanges the variation dropdown with images.
    Bulk Variations Manager gives you a quick overview over all existing variations and allows you to bulk edit them.

    Neither is useful for what you are looking to setup.

    @conschneider yes I checked that plugin, but does it support conditional product swatches? because from what I see, I can not have a dropdown with 2 options and when I select one option from dropdown, swatches will be displayed based on dropdown selection.

    Or does it support this?

    Hi again,

    Maybe.
    Do you have screenshot or draft that illustrates this? I think it depends on where you specifically need what element.

    Hi there,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

    Kind regards,
