How Do I Add a Quantity Attribute in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:55 am

Adding a quantity attribute to your WooCommerce products is a great way to keep track of stock levels and ensure that customers can only purchase the amount of items that are available. There are two ways to add a quantity attribute to your products:

1. Use the WooCommerce Attribute Manager. This is a plugin that allows you to add, edit, and delete attributes for your products. To use this plugin, go to WooCommerce > Attributes and select the product you want to add the attribute to. Then, click on the Add New Attribute button and enter the attribute name, values, and other settings. Once you’ve saved the attribute, it will be available for all products.

2.

Use the Product Add-Ons Extension. This is a plugin that allows you to add extra options to your products, such as text fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons. To use this plugin, go to WooCommerce > Product Add-Ons and select the product you want to add the attribute to. Then, click on the Add New Add-On button and enter the add-on name, values, and other settings. Once you’ve saved the add-on, it will be available for all products.

Conclusion:

Both of these plugins are great options for adding quantity attributes to your WooCommerce products. If you need more control over your attributes, then the WooCommerce Attribute Manager is a good option. If you just need a simple way to add extra options to your products, then the Product Add-Ons Extension is a good choice.

PRO TIP: When adding a quantity attribute in WooCommerce, be sure to add the attribute to the product before setting a price. Otherwise, you may end up with an inaccurate product price.
