WooCommerce allows for custom product variations to enhance the shopping experience. You can add custom variations to your products using these steps:
1. Create Custom Product Attributes
- Go to Products > Attributes in your WordPress dashboard.
- Add a new attribute (e.g., “Color” or “Size”).
- Save the attribute and configure its terms (e.g., Red, Blue, Large, Small).
2. Assign Attributes to a Product
- Edit the product in WooCommerce.
- In the Product Data section, set the product type to Variable Product.
- Go to the Attributes tab, and add your custom attributes. Enable Used for Variations.
3. Create Product Variations
- Navigate to the Variations tab under the same Product Data section.
- Use the “Add Variation” option to create a variation for each combination of attributes.
- Set prices, stock, images, and other settings for each variation.
4. Add Custom Fields to Variations (Optional)
To add custom fields (e.g., text inputs, color pickers):
- Use a plugin like WooCommerce Product Add-Ons or Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for additional fields.
- Alternatively, add custom code to your
functions.php
file using hooks likewoocommerce_product_options
orwoocommerce_save_product_variation
.
5. Customize the Frontend Display
- Use custom CSS or hooks/filters like
woocommerce_variable_add_to_cart
to tailor the variation display to your needs. - You can also modify templates in the WooCommerce theme overrides (
woocommerce/templates
).
