Choosing which price variation to appear

    Hi everyone !
    I’m not a professionnal so sorry if it’s an easy to be solved issue ??
    I’m selling tea with decreasing prices according to the quantity you buy (50, 100 or 250 gr). With variable products, by default it’s the lowest price which appear under the product name (so the 50 gr price here). But tea customers are used to have the 100 gr prices in mind to evaluate if the price is ok for them so I’d like the 100 gr price to appear, which means be able to choose which variation appears.
    So, I mean before you even click on the options.

    I know that in the “Product Data”, “Variations”, you have “Default Form Values” which enable to choose which variation will be pre-selected on the frontend. But that’s when you’ve clicked to the product and start choosing between the options. I wan to be able to choose which variation is shown as the standard price of the product before that step.

    Not sure I’m clear, I don’t know how to call this first look you have at the product ??

    Thanks for youy help !

    Hi @marsupilami

    It sounds like you want to display a specific variation on the shop page, before your customer clicks on the product to then view the individual product page. Is this correct?

    There are a few plugins that I found that may help you to achieve this:

    https://woocommerce.com/products/products-by-attributes-variations-for-woocommerce/
    https://barn2.co.uk/select-variations-woocommerce-shop-page/

    Hope this helps!

    Hi @amandasjackson !
    Thanks for your answer !
    I had a look and the plug-in proposed do not solve my issue. It makes one the variation appears as a single product, that’s not what I want.

    On the shop page, when you first see a product, you have the name of the product and then the price. The price selected by woocommerce seems to be always the variation of the product with the lowest price – or may be it’s the lowest quantity – (and yes, that’s before the customer clicks on the product to then view the individual product page and the different variations of the product.).

    I’d like to choose wich price variation the customer will see on the shop page, not necessarily the smallest variation.

    so here : https://lheurebleue.net/categorie-produit/thes-de-terroirs/the-vert/vert-chinois/

    the price is 8,15 € / 50 gr, which is the price of the lowest variation.

    I’d like the 100 gr price to appear instead at that point !

    You will see in the next link that I mamaged to make the 100 gr variation to be the default one once you access to the product page and that under the product name you have the 50 gr price, the same default price that you have on the shop page…

    Thanks for elaborating on that in more detail ??

    At the moment, WooCommerce doesn’t have any options to set the exact variation price to be shown on the shop overview page. Practically speaking this means that if its a must-have feature, it would need to be custom developed by a web developer or one of the customisation experts listed at https://woocommerce.com/customizations/

    Thanks @riaanknoetze and @amandasjackson ,

    Thinking a bit about the problem, I decided to do this :

    In the product data / price note / price note , I’ve written : “starting at” instead of “50 gr”. So that the customer knows what the minimum amount to buy is but do not see directly for which quantity it is (the idea behind is that we have decreasing prices, the lowest quantity 50 gr being 20% higher than the standard 100 gr (!), which means that seeing first the 5O gr price may give the impression that the tea is quite expensive…

    Not the perfect solution but that’s a way to elude the issue.

    Thanks for youy help !
