Variation not working – The selected product isn’t a variation

  • Hi,

    I have tried to setup a test variable product as I want to create a simpl variable product page where every variation is linked to a specific static product bundle with its own SKU and Price.

    I have created a test variation, added two unassembled static bundles into the variable product and on the front page upon selecting the desired variation I get an error message that – The selected product isn’t a variation of “BUNDLE PRODUCT”, please choose product options by visiting “BUNDLE PRODUCT”.

    I have tried to use assembled or unassembled variation, I have tried to use bundles with or without managed stock, various stock statuses, I have removed min-max values from individual bundle components,etc but nothing worked.

    Do you have a tip on how to fix this?

    Kind regards
    Michal

    I have not. Still waiting if the plugin author responds to this.

    Thanks for letting me know. Hope you get it fixed.

    I had a look at your website to see if I could see if your situation was the same as mine and I really like the way you have managed your bundles and composite products. I know the support forum isn’t the place to ask questions about this, but would you mind me contacting you through the email address on your site to ask what plugins you used etc?

    If you don’t like the idea or just too busy I totally understand, just let me know and I won’t contact you.

    Thanks

    HI,

    feel free to get in touch via the contact on my website. Honestly I am looking for a way to NOT use composite products anymore as it is way too cumbersome and customers often abandon product pages because it is too complicated and it does not even have any proper way to show the availability of the composite as a whole.

    What I have found as a solution is to simply manage my whole inventory via my external invoicing/warehousing software. It supports bundles and I can see right away how many possible combinations of various bundles are available to be assembled from the local stock. Then I will just create a completely normal variable product on my website with same SKUs as the bundles in my warehouse system and simply let my system sync the available quantity of the “local” bundles with my website. Then I will not have any need for composite or bundle plugins on my web anymore (I do not use any other bundle feature like assemble your own bundle). Variable products are way better supported by all themes and other plugins and customers will have a much nicer product pages available, so the conversion should improve (I believe and hope).

    Regards

    I have managed to find the problem myself

    Step one, disabled all plugins except security and the theme. Still the variation bundles were not working.

    Step two used various themes – some have worked some have not.

    Common problem of the non-working themes was, they all used AJAX add to cart button.

    If AJAX was disabled, then the plugin started to work again.

    It would be great if the developer has added support for themes that use AJAX add to cart buttons.

    That’s great. We use Xstore theme and was able to turn off Ajax add to cart and the plugin seems to work well now. Many thanks!

    I also use the Xstore theme
