Woocommerce and products compare prices

Hi Max!

If I understand correctly, for each single product, you’d like to offer multiple options to your customers, the same product being sold by different sites so that the customer can choose who to buy from, with different affiliate links showing different prices. Is that right?

You can create separate single external products (with a single affiliate link) as part of core WooCommerce, with no extensions needed. Here’s guidance here on how to set a product as an external/affiliate product.

You could use WooCommerce Products Compare or potentially Product Table for WooCommerce, if you wanted to compare several different products side by side.

However if you wanted to compare prices from different affiliate sources in the same product, you could potentially make it a variable product, then use a third party plugin to add affiliate links to each separate variation. It looks like there are a couple of options out there. I’d suggest looking for plugins by searching for something like “affiliate variable products woocommerce”.

I hope that helps!

Thanks @fylgjur
for info.

What I would like to do is just compare the prices of different affiliates in the same product like this:

so i should use a variable product as you suggested.

Perhaps it is better to directly use a ready-made theme for affiliate variable products woocommerce.

Thank you

Hi Max,

Yes, I see what you’re after!

A variable product would be the way to go.

It’s not so much a theme as a specific plugin functionality, which may come packaged with some theme bundles.

I did a little more digging, and it looks like it may also be possible using custom code, if that’s something you could look into. The link’s fairly old, and I haven’t tested this myself: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40938725/adding-affiliate-links-to-woocommerce-variations

I can’t specifically recommend third party plugins that aren’t on the WooCommerce marketplace since I’m not familiar with them and haven’t seen them in action, but this looks like a possible solution at first glance. I’d recommend you check out reviews and regularity of updates if you go for any third party option.

Just to add that if you go the custom code route, for advice around this, you may find volunteer support here on the forum, or I’d recommend reaching out to one of our vetted developers on our Customisations page (https://woocommerce.com/customizations/).

Hope that’s helpful!

Thanks @fylgjur

for suggestions

the custom code option post is a little old and i am not a programmer, i will try the plugin you suggested to me.

Even if the plugin is new and has few downloads I will test it hoping it is the one for me.

Thanks again
Max

you have been very helpful

You’re welcome! I’ll mark this thread as resolved.
