Specific variation

Yes, this is possible.

I found this video to be helpful when I was setting it up for a client.

Best of luck!

Thanks for your response. I understand how to configure whats in the video.
Im trying the get the shapes drop down dependent on whats selected in the size drop down. Large is selected in in the size and only large images appear in the next drop down of shapes.

How many variations do you have for this product? There is a threshold, the default is 20 or 30 depending on what you read. Increasing the threshold to higher than the number of variations can help.

You can increase the variations threshold using this snippet in functions.php for your child theme:

As you make the threshold bigger, the page size gets bigger so page load time will increase. You’ll need to make a judgement.

When size of large is selected from the first dropdown on large shapes will appear in the next dropdown. If medium is selected only medium images will be available in the next dropdown etc

Please post the url to the product page.

It hasnt been created yet. The product im using a dummy item in a sandbox site to get this right before putting it into a live site

OK, how many variations do you have for this product?

SIZE Small, Medium and Large
SHAPES small 15, Medium 20, Large 34
SCENTS 43
COLORS 22

Not sure of the number of variations but with these numbers it will be HUGE. I only have 5 of each in my attributes for my sandbox for testing.
I may not be using scents and colors in my variations.
I need my drop down for size to determine the shapes sizes that will appear in dropdown of shapes. Large selected then large shapes names displayed in dropdown shapes. Medium displays medium and small displays only small shapes.

Here is my sandbox
SANDBOX

That’s around 200,000 variations, less any that are not available, so an impracticable number in my view. The most I’ve seen is a site with 800, and very much less would be easier to manage. Consider steps to reduce the number.

– split the product

– use the “Any” attribute option when making variations. For example, if I sell T-shirts in red and blue with a choice of 2 logos, that’s 2 x 2 = 4 variations. But if my variations are red/any and blue/any, that’s only 2 variations not 4. The principal will scale up. In my example, the logos would have to be all the same price.

– look at add-ons. Using the above example, my two variations would be red and blue, but I would have radio buttons underneath to allow the logo choice. The logo choice is carried to cart and checkout.

Booster (free) has an add-ons module:

The add-ons have both label and price. The free version may be a bit limiting but there are other premium add-on plugins you could look at.

Then there’s this one:

You can add custom fields to products. If the choices add a cost then some code is needed, but if say all colours are the same price, a series of radio buttons would allow the customer to choose.

Best to experiment a bit to see what works for you.

Thanks for the response lorro.
I actually only need the variations in size and shape. Ill try these two plugins out.
