Woocommerce – Product variations on category/product list page with add-to-cart

Anyone? someone? still waiting for the response. Expected a response from woocommerce developers itself. This is much needed feature, or little extension can be developed. But there should be a hint for it. Is it not possible to do in woocommerce?
Please respond.

Hi,

I’m also in need of this feature. Would love to be able to add variations with swatches to category views/homepage.

Does anyone have any ideas?

-Alex

this will be available in 2.0, though it may require some theming.
basically, at the moment, there’s no add to cart url for variations(meaning no way to add a variation to the cart outside of the single product page), but that’s a feature they’re adding into 2.0, which was just released to beta last week.

Hey bheadrick, can you explain a bit further how this feature works or how I can replicate it? I have Woocommerce beta2 set up but I can’t seem to see how I could test this feature

Hello woocommerce! Please someone throw more light on it with little more explanations. As we can see many users want this feature, so we are waiting for the proper solution asap. Proper admin GUI and settings for which variations to show, and in frontend selecting a variation can display respective price simultaneously, that directly will be added to cart without directing to product page will be great.This will make woocommerce a most useful plugin for ecommerce in wordpress.

the only Info I have is from this

here’s an example of a query string to add a variation to the cart:

?add-to-cart=1175&variation_id=1184&attribute_pa_size=x-large&attribute_pa_colour=white

there’s nothing about it in the readme, though

Thanks bheadrick, that could be a way to add products from a specific URL but it’s not a solution to the OP’s issue.

Ah well looks like this is more suited to a plugin – hopefully it won’t cost us $99!

Also you should add this as an idea on the Woocommerce ideas page https://ideas.woothemes.com/forums/133476-woocommerce

I could have sworn it was already there but I couldn’t find it. Have a quick search before you post it up. Once you post it let us know here so we can get some more votes!

Is it possible with Woocommerce 2.0.3 which released now?
“Product variations on category/product list page with add-to-cart, so that customers can add a product to cart with the selected variation/price without going to product detail page”.
As it was commented by various users here that it will work with woocommerce 2, and it was a long awaited feature, I think its now possible but dont know how.
Please suggest.

Thanks.

No, it’s not in WC 2 from what I’ve seen

Disappointed to see ‘NO’. I also seen its changelog and checked this feature not available directly. But as per its changelog, product classes rewritten, some work done for variations, get_product()function, etc. I hope by some customization I could achieve the thing I require, since woocommerce is completely overhauled and many features and code standards added.
Can someone help with little code and idea for how could I achieve this? A little help in the right direction will help me and others to make this.
(Please read my first post to get the alternative flow, I need help to achieve any of it).
I am in urgent need of this waiting for months, and is a so important feature that can be used in so many sites, beneficial for developers and ecommerce users.
I also expect some response from plugin authors.

Thanks.

There is a lot going on with regards to how variations are created and output, and even more going on as to how these are added to the cart. It’s very tricky which is why there isn’t much information on this.

In terms of the code I would start at looking at woocommerce/templates/single-product/add-to-cart/variable.php

As previously suggested, you should add this as a feature request and continue the discussion there https://ideas.woothemes.com/forums/133476-woocommerce

Hi renegadesk,
Today I tried to add this new idea on your given link, but even after loggedin, I am unable to add new idea. There is just a textbox in which when I am putting title, going process and finally just a cross mark to delete it. There is no any textarea where I can fill the details and post it. Could u explain me a little how to ‘post a new idea’ on woocommerce?

Further, its very amazing that no one else other than you is replying here, not even woocommerce authors. This post is going over months and still no good help or idea. Does author dont bother any support request here? not good.

Hi I have confirmed my email id and now able to post idea.
I have added it here: https://ideas.woothemes.com/forums/133476-woocommerce/suggestions/3777548-product-variations-on-category-product-list-page-w
Please arrange some good votes for it, so it can be solved or implemented soon.
Thanks for help!

Nice one Shashank.

You need to remember that this plugin is open source so the plugin authors really have no duty to respond to you or any of us. Try and be patient about this and you will have much better luck getting help. After all, this is the community forum for a product that we are using to make money for free so we’ve all got to try and help each other.

Hopefully your idea gets put together as a plugin at some stage as it would be a great feature.
