Do variable products work when js is disabled?

    Hi there

    Is it possible to make variable products work with js disabled?

    I can’t make it work at the moment because I keep getting the error “Please choose product options…” when I hit “Add to basket” even though I have chosen an option in a dropdown.

    I’ve tried disabling all plugins and using just the Storefront theme but that doesn’t seem to make a difference.

    Looking at the code I think the error is generated the function add_to_cart_handler_variable in class-wc-form-handler.php because the posted value for variation_id is 0:

    } elseif ( empty( $variation_id ) ) {
			wc_add_notice( __( 'Please choose product options…', 'woocommerce' ), 'error' );

    And at the moment I can’t see how the variation_id is anything other than 0 if js is disabled – the default code is in variation-add-to-cart-button.php and is

    <input type="hidden" name="variation_id" class="variation_id" value="0" />

    so presumably the value is then set by js.

    Have I missed something obvious? Doing something dumb?

    Thanks for any help…

    Cheers
    Jon

    OK no urgency on this one (for me anyway). Since I’m going to use Stripe as payment gateway and that needs JS enabled to work I’m not going to bother making the site work w/o js.

    I’m leaving this issue unresolved for now in case there are payment gateways that don’t require js to work…

    Hello Janwyl,
    May I know why do you need to remove/disable JS on your site?

    I don’t need to – was just trying to follow good practice and make sure it worked without js. But like I say, since I’m going to use Stripe that’s not going to happen anyway…

    So can we consider this thread as resolved? If yes, please check the “resolved” box below.

    I’m happy to resolve it for me and have done so.
    But it rather looks like the WooCommerce plugin is in general designed to degrade gracefully when js is not available, presumably because there are payment gateways that don’t rely on js. So if that’s the intention then it may be worth someone looking into the variable products because it didn’t degrade gracefully for me.
