Easy way for 2 variations per product

    Hi,
    I’m sorry to re-hash this. I’ve looked through the threads but feel I must be missing something and over thinking this.

    I have one product which is actually 2 separate products (a cat toy…you get two of the same toys for one price but you get to choose the fabric).

    I have 15 different fabrics to choose from.
    I made a variable product with Fabric #1 and Fabric #2 both consisting of the same choice of 15 fabrics.

    I understand you have to make these into their own variations which obviously comes out to something like 225 combinations or more of items under Variations. This is insane!!

    It should be very easy.
    Choose the fabric under box #1
    Choose the second fabric under box #2

    When I attempt to run the ‘create all variations’ of course it stops at 50 and I have to keep running it. I just can’t believe this is really how it works. There must be a better way to do this. Am I missing something here?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi @iguanamom ,
    you only need 1 variation where you select “Any Fabric #1” and “Any Fabric #2”.
    Does this solution work for you?

    @krugmedien thanks for your reply! Can you elaborate on how that’d work exactly? In my head, I would need two separate dropdown menus for them to choose which fabric they wanted for each toy (can be different ones for each). But I’d love to do away with the 225 combos it made!

    Thank you for your time!!

    Hi Steph,

    • Select Fabric #1 and Fabric #2 in the product data box in the attributes tab, see: Image 1
    • Add 1 variation and leave the settings on “Any Fabric #1” and “Any Fabric #2”, see: Image 2

    This way you get two dropdowns. ??

    @krugmedien OMG you’re BRILLIANT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this. I’m eternally grateful to you for showing me how to perform this…and it works perfectly. I’ve actually never seen anyone explain it this way before. I owe you BIG TIME! Out of curiosity, why are your ‘values’ (Option A, etc.) in ‘bubbles’? Mine are separated by the pipe sign. I tried just putting them on separate lines or separating by a comma but they never showed as individual ‘bubbles’ on the line.

    Again, thanks so much, you made my day!
