Variable Product Issues

Have you actually tried this yet, because you can set a price per variation – it would be useless without this functionality ??

Dear Mike,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, I think I have tried this.

As far as I can see you can only set the price for one item which has many variables, and you cannot set the price for each of the variables within the single product.

I do not see a set ‘price per variation’ option from the menu, there is only an option to ‘set a regular price’ as demonstrated in the screen shot below. This gives you one price, but many variations.

Whereas I need to have one product, where each of the formats has a set price, one of the options needs to be download.

Am I missing something simple here?

Many thanks in advance—

You currently have added only one variation to this product. If you add another, and set a different attribute, you can give it a different price and set different downloadable files if that is what is needed.

You don’t need 3 attributes as you do now either. Have 1 attribute called ‘format’ and give it values epub, paperback, hardback.

Hi Mike,

thanks for your help so far!

I’ve figured out the individual variation thing…thank you. But there seems to be a problem on the front end of the site, which is currently listing the paperback price, and stating items are ‘out of stock’ even when I’ve ticked the boxes to say there are in stock.

See the following screen shots.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong here?

Is it published or draft?

it is published – here is the site and the relevant page

under the inventory tab, check its in stock at product level.

I have checked this option but it doesn’t seem to help

Odd, have you saved the entire product since making these changes? It seems to think its out of stock at product level, but isn’t.

Yes I’ve saved it several times but there still seems to be the problem…

If you DM me a login twitter @mikejolley I can take a quick look.
