Variable Products – is there a quicker way?

    Migrating a site from CMSMadeSimple to WooCommerce:

    We have about 10 blends of coffee. -> Each blend will be a product.
    Each blend is available in one of four grinds: Beans, Espresso, Filter, Plunger -> Global attribute.
    Each blend is available in 3 sizes (by weight)
    Price varies by weight but not by grind.
    There is at least one product (decaf) where the prices differ from other blends.
    All combinations are possible (and stock is infinite). -> So I generate all combinations.

    Is there any way of configuring this so I don’t have to enter price and weight 120 times?

  • Where an attribute does not affect price, you can use the “Any” attribute when setting up variations. So your grinds can be “Any” to geometrically reduce the number of permutations.

    And/or, look at:
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woo-extra-product-options/
    Some or all of your attributes can be replaced with priced radio button sets. There are other add-on type plugins if you like the approach.

    With either method, your individual variations can’t have their own SKU or stock control.

    You could use the CSV import function – create the variations in a spreadsheet (with prices/weights etc) and import – nice and easy to change prices later if they increase!

    Hey @permaculturegeek

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

    Thanks,
