Reduce main product stock with variation's amount

    Hi,

    I have a product with variations, the variations are different amounts of product (1,5,10,15, etc.) and the price depends of these, buying 15 is cheaper than buying one.

    Product Attribute name : “Amount”
    Product Variables : 1,5,10,15, etc.

    How I can get it so that the main product would have stock of 300, then when customer buys item (15) the main product’s stock would decrease with 15. Now it either reduces main product stock by one or variation stock by one. Also not allowing customer to buy products more than there are in stock…

    Is there plugin for this or do I have to code it myself in to woocommerce code? Would sure be pain in the ass but I guess it’s doable.

    We don’t support reducing stock by > 1 based on attributes. 1 variation bought = 1 stock used.

    Would it not make sense to use a dynamic pricing plugin instead?

    I tested “VarkTech Pricing Deals for WooCommerce”-plugin and it looked promising but didn’t do what I wanted. Yes it could make that kind of deals (one for 1€, 5 for 4€ etc.) but it doesn’t show it in the product page, only in cart.

    It might work with having product quantity field as dropdown menu (with pre determined quantity) but the price should update and show according to the selected value, or something ??

    Would it be hard to add feature in to product variation’s options “[ ] amount of stock removed when bought. Default 1.” ?

    I’m thinking about stabbing abstract-wc-order.php reduce_order_stock to reduce stock according to the variation’s name/details, but user could buy 50, while real stock is 1, so should get that going on product page… fun times ??

    I guess that could be done as a plugin ??

    Yeah, but really would have loved some other option than coding plugin ?? Hope in some day this “feature” will find in to WooCommerce as default, because it’s like very common stuff in other ecommerces to have this kind of setup…

    Thanks for the answer.
