How to Add Variable Products to WooCommerce?

Among all the WooCommerce offered features, the Product Variation utility is one of the most important. For instance, if a T-shirt is a variable product, it’s available in a certain number of alternating colors and sizes. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps of its implementation and take a precise look at some interesting details of this feature, helping you understand how to effectively manage product variations for your products.

Step 1 - Set a product type to 'Variable' for the target product. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard -> Products -> Add a Product and select 'Variable product' from the Product Data dropdown. Once you're done, you'll notice a change in the user interface as shown in the screenshot above.

Step 2 - Navigate to the Attributes Tab. Define the attributes of the variable product by going to WP admin dashboard-> Products-> Attributes tab. Clicking the 'Add' button will redirect you to a new page.

Step 3 - Define Attributes for the Variable Products. The values assigned to attributes will appear as options for the respective variable product. When you're finished defining attributes, select the 'Used for variations' checkbox for each attribute. This informs WordPress that the attributes belong to the variable product.

Step 4 - Start Adding Variations. After saving the variable product, continue by adding variations. Go to WP admin dashboard-> Products-> Variations tab and click on 'Add Variation' button. Specify the values for each variation and click 'Save changes'. With that, you're finished displaying variations for the variable product.
