What Is a Product Variation in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:40 pm

Product variations in WooCommerce are product options that can be applied to products in your store. For example, a t-shirt might come in different sizes and colors.

Each size and color combination is a variation. Product variations can be used to offer a variety of products without having to create separate products for each option.

Product variations are set up in the product data section of your WooCommerce dashboard. To add product variations, first select the “Variable product” type from the “Add product” menu.

Then, fill out the product details as usual. In the “Product data” section, you will see an “Attributes” tab. Here, you can add the attributes that will be used for your variations.

PRO TIP: Product variations in WooCommerce can be tricky to manage if you’re not familiar with the platform. Be sure to read up on product variation management before attempting to create or edit products with variations. Otherwise, you may end up with products that don’t function properly or look the way you want them to.

Once you have added your attributes, you can start adding variations. To do this, select the “Variations” tab from the “Product data” section.

Then, click on the “Add variation” button. A new dialog box will appear where you can select the attribute values for this particular variation.

After you have selected the attribute values, you can enter a SKU, price, and stock status for this variation. Once you have saved your changes, your product variations will be ready to use.

A product variation in WooCommerce is a product option that can be applied to products in your store.
