Product Price Variation/Attributes

  • I’ve searched everywhere for an answer and can’t figure out how to create a product without having to create hundreds if not a thousand or more variations just to have a handful of choices with price increases.

    My question, is this even possible with WooCommerce?

    Lets say I have a product that a customer can customize:

    Product 1
    -Color 1 – ~100 color choices
    -Color 2 – ~100 color choices
    -Color 3 – ~100 color choices
    -Option 1 – 10 options
    -Option 2 – 10 options

    In Color 1-3 the colors would basically be the same and there would be a handful of colors that would cost more.
    In Option 1&2 there would be a few options that would cost more as well.
    The product would have a base price, and choosing any color or option that would cost more would just increase the base price. Choosing a color or option without any price variation would just keep the base price.
    Almost every product will be setup this way.

    I can’t figure out if this is possible without having to create hundreds/thousands of variations just to have a few color choices and a few option choices with increased price on top of a basic product price. I’ve watched videos read all the support I can find on the topic, but most of them only show a handful of choices to use. I feel like I may be overthinking it, but just want to be sure.

  • I ran into the same problem, there are pricing plugins that make it easier to modify prices.

    If you want it to be a nice clean single product you HAVE to create thousands of variations, you can assign each variation a price afterwards. But that isn’t reasonable to do by hand.

    4 colours x 3 sizes x 10 decals x 2 styles = 240 variations for 1 simple product.

    It’s got a steep price, but if you do a lot of work with woocommerce / wordpress https://www.wpallimport.com/ is worth a look. ( unlimited installs once purchased. )

    It lets me use an excel sheet to easily calculate individual prices for each variation of thousands, then import it, and any price changes as they happen.

    e.g.

    Total price = Size + Colour + Decal

    A1 = A2 + A3 + A4

    Total Price = Small, Green, Glittering Snowflakes
    A1 = $5 + 0 + $7

    Size
    Small = $5
    Medium = $5
    Extra Large = $7

    Colours
    All colours = $0 (for this product)

    Decals
    None= $0
    Snowflakes = $1
    Glittering Snowflakes = $3

    Price of Glittering snowflakes went up?
    Glittering Snowflakes = $5

    Bam, by changing the price of 1 cell, all it’s variations are updated and ready to be uploaded.

    I’m gonna have to take a look at that plugin. But with what you are saying, with my example above, I’ll be looking at ~100000000 variations?!?! ?? Can WooCommerce even handle that?

    Just for example in the three color categories, out of that 100 choices, I will need say 5 colors to be increased in price. The two options will also be all additional in price as well.

    I might have to rethink my ecommerce solution and go back to opencart. I really wanted to stick with wordpress for the community/blog, but with this option, it doesn’t look too promising…

    Thanks for the reply btw. I’m going to give that plugin a shot and see what I break. =D
