Oh yes, sorry. In my ideal world, I could set one price for the base SKU, have it sync between WooCommerce and Square, and also have the price of each “variant” just be the base price times the “stock multiplier” value I set. However, I’d also be OK with it the way it is now, where I just have to set the price of each variant manually.

The important thing to me is that the inventory gets synced.

That’s what I’m trying to say. It already is just a simple product in Square. In-store, on the Square POS we just sell it in whatever quantity people want. We pull up the item and type in the quantity. I am trying to use the variable swatches and multiplier function on the website so that it will sync with the simple product in Square.

I don’t know enough about the underlying way the WooCommerce plugins work, but would there be some way to have an option checkbox at the product level that determines how the inventory is managed, basically fake a “variable product” to look like a “simple product” for inventory purposes?

That’s really frustrating! There should be support for variations that are simply a quantity multiple of the primary SKU. The way I’ve set this up manages the inventory perfectly within WooCommerce, no extra SKUs required. I don’t understand why the Square Sync won’t allow me to just sync this properly-accounted inventory with Square. It’s driving me crazy here.

I reached out to the WooCommerce Square Sync support and they basically said that it won’t work to use variations in this way and still have it sync to Square: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/why-cant-i-sync-variations-to-square-that-are-just-a-multiple-of-one-sku/

Do you have any idea what they are talking about when they said this:

“Maybe they can find a way to count the product as “single” for the Square Sync (since this is technically counted as a single product, not a variable product, inventory-wise).”

I feel like you are not understanding here. I do not want to have multiple SKUs. That would completely mess up my Square inventory tracking. Each tea is a single product. Adding multiple SKUs for 4009 African Chai would be nonsensical. When someone buys 4oz of this product, I just need to reduce the inventory of it by 4. I just want to be able to sell specific, fixed multiples of it on my site and have that sync to Square.

Is there some other way to sell fixed quantities of a single SKU (as seen in the screenshot in my previous post) and have it allow me to sync to Square? Under no circumstances am I going to split all 450+ of my products into a bunch of separate SKUs for each quantity. That’s a ridiculous non-solution.

It would make no sense at all to use separate SKUs for each variation. There is only a single SKU in Square. The variations are simply different quantities of the single SKU. We sell loose leaf tea by the ounce, and I am using a couple of plugins to display fixed amounts on the site, like 2oz, 4oz, etc.

When someone purchases 4oz, it simply deducts 4x of SKU 4009 from our inventory. This all works just fine within WooCommerce, but I need it to also sync to Square, which I can’t do when that checkbox is greyed out.

Thanks, I went ahead and purchased the full version and the multipliers are working now, but I noticed that my product inventory doesn’t sync back to Square when a sale is made.

e.g. – I made a test purchase of the 8oz variation of the product in the screenshots below. The inventory in Woocommerce was correctly reduced by 8, per the stock multiplier. However, this 8 oz reduction in inventory was not synced to Square. I am assuming this is because the “Send product data to Square” box is not checked on the General tab, but as you can see in the second screenshot, that option is greyed out with a message about adding a SKU to every variation. But I do have a SKU on every variation. They product and each variation are all the same SKU, 4009.

Any idea here what I’m doing wrong? How can I get it to allow me to check the box to sync the inventory to Square?

My site is https://dispatches.fm, but for now I just manually updated footer.php to include my footer with HTML since the customizer was stripping it all out.

I’m not saying this happened in the last update. I haven’t tried to edit my footer for over a year probably, so it could have been a change quite a while ago. I saw in another thread on here that you “added code to sanitize certain fields for security reasons” and I was wondering if the copyright-text part of the footer was one of those, even though it still says “Custom HTML allowed.”

Nevermind. I just looked at the updated code for Simone and it looks like they just dropped simone_the_responsive_thumbnail() in favor of WordPress’ built-in function the_post_thumbnail(), so I made the same change in my child theme and now everything looks great.

+1 to this request. Is there any better fix that doesn’t cause no image to load at all?

I’ve downgraded back to v2.0.3 until I can find a better fix for this.

Yup, latest version of Jetpack, 3.5.3.

@babydynamyt – I don’t have any additional wp.me plugins installed. The “WP.me Shortlinks” Jetpack module is enabled (it was on by default), but I haven’t made any changes or custom settings to Jetpack that relate to the wp.me links.

Okay, I just did these exact steps:

1. click “New Post”
2. type a post title and some body content, choose a category, enter some tags
3. click “Save Draft”
4. make further edits, safe draft a few more times, etc.
5. click “Edit Details” in the Publicize section of the Publish box
6. tweak the Custom Message to this: “On the blog: Quill Leaves NWMLS, Dramatically Slashes Listing Cost https://wp.me/pe2Bv-7YP” (Note that the wp.me link was already in there when I clicked “Edit Details,” I just edited the text before it.)
7. click “Hide”
8. click “Save Draft”
9. preview the post one more time to make sure it looks good
10. click “Publish”

Here’s the tweet that resulted: https://twitter.com/SeattleBubble/status/603972097581293568

Once again, it has both the wp.me link and the full link.

I just wanted to also say thanks, martinjn94. This was driving me nuts, and your fix worked like a charm.
