Woocommerce and product stock

    Hi,
    I have this problem with woocommerce about managing inventory stocks.

    Let me explain with a practical example:
    I have a product consisting of two sub-products (Product: complete set Sub-product: knit and shorts).

    In stock I have 2 knit and 1 shorts (1 knit size S, 1 knit size M and 1 shorts size S)

    Creating the variants I have:
    variantA: 1 knit size S + 1 short size S (as quantity nr.1)
    variantB: 1 knit size M + 1 short size S (as quantity nr.1)

    In actuality, I would like that if a buyer buys one of the two variants, automatically, having finished the shorts, also the other variant will be disabled.
    This does not happen because having inserted the quantity 1 in the two variants, the system turns out that even if they buy the variant, the variant B is still available even stil having finished the shorts.

    Someone has already bumped his head to understand how it can be solved?

    Thank you

    Hey there!

    This does not happen because having inserted the quantity 1 in the two variants, the system turns out that even if they buy the variant, the variant B is still available even stil having finished the shorts.

    That’s exactly how the variable products are meant to work: if you have a red t-shirt and a blue t-shirt, you’ll want to track the stock for each.

    In your case, as you want to track the stock at the parent product level and not the variation, your best option is to use a plugin like Product Add-ons. That will let you choose the type (size, length) and then track inventory for just one product.

    Here’s the plugin:
