(Simple vs. Variable Products)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When managing a webshop, the most common and important task is to update the product range. In the WooCommerce system, you will basically encounter two types of product types most often: With a simple product<\/strong> (e.g. a book or a mug of which there is only one type) and With a variable product<\/strong> (e.g. a T-shirt available in sizes S, M, L and three different colours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you set the type incorrectly, customers will not be able to choose the right size for them, or stock management will become a nightmare. Let's see how to do it professionally, step by step!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1: Easy product upload<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your product doesn\u2019t have a range of sizes or colors (for example, a custom mug or a downloadable e-book), you\u2019ll need to use the \u201cSimple product\u201d setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Navigate to add a new product.<\/strong> In the black menu on the left side of WordPress, select Products > Add New<\/strong> opportunity. [Screenshot location: The admin menu on the left side of WordPress, highlighted in red with the Products\/Add New button]<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Enter the Title and Descriptions.<\/strong> In the top, large box, enter the exact name of the product (Address). Into the large editing window<\/em> a detailed, long description of the product (this is usually displayed in your webshop below the page, under a tab). Scroll down completely to the bottom of the page to the \u201cShort description of the product\u201d box:<\/em> write here the 2-3 sentence, teasing, punchy text that will appear next to the price of the product and the \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button. [Screenshot location: The empty editor area, with an arrow pointing to the location of the Title, Long Description, and Bottom Short Description blocks]<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Set up images and categories<\/strong> In the right sidebar, find the Product Image<\/strong> box. Upload the optimized, square main image here. If you have more than one image, those underneath the Product Gallery<\/strong> put it in a box. Also on the right, the Product categories<\/strong> box, tick the appropriate box (e.g. \u201cMugs\u201d). [Screenshot location: The right column with the Product Image, Product Gallery and Categories boxes]<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Product details: Price and Stock (The point!)<\/strong> Scroll back to the center, the Product Data<\/strong> box.\n
      \n
    • The General<\/em> tab: Enter the General price<\/strong>. If it's on sale, it's Special price<\/em> field (the system will automatically drag and drop the old one).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A Stock<\/em> tab: If you want the machine to count the number of pieces, tick the Turn on Inventory Management<\/strong> option and enter how many pieces are in stock. [Screenshot location: Product details box in the General tab with price setting]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Publication<\/strong> Blue in the upper right corner Publication<\/strong> button to sharpen the product.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Part 2: Upload Variable Product (Choose Size and Color)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      If there are several variants of your product (for example, a T-shirt available in sizes S, M, L and also in red, blue), you need to create a \u201cVariable Product\u201d. It's a bit trickier, but it has a logical structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Set Title, Descriptions, Images, and Category exactly is done in the same way as with the simple product<\/strong> (see steps 1-3). The difference is the middle Product details<\/strong> in a box:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Change of product type<\/strong> In the drop-down menu at the top of the Product Details box, click Simple product<\/em> change option Variable product<\/strong>. As a result, the \u201cGeneral\u201d pricing tab disappears because you now have to enter prices for each variant (because the XXL t-shirt may be more expensive than the S). [Screenshot location: Select the Product Details box, in the drop-down menu \u201cSelect a Variable Product\u201d]<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Create properties (Attributes)<\/strong> Click on the left side of the Characteristics<\/strong> tab. This is where we create the assortment.\n
          \n
        • Click on add<\/em> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Name: e.g. \u2018Size\u2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Values: Type the values separated by a vertical line (| \u2013 usually \u201cAlt Gr + W\u201d on the keyboard). For example: S | M | L<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Critical step:<\/strong> Check out the \u2018May also be used for selections\u2019<\/strong> small square! Without it, it won't work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Click on Save properties<\/em> button. [Screenshot location: The Properties tab, with a filled-in \"Size\" property (S | M | L) and a ticked checkbox]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Generation of Variations<\/strong> Now go through the Variants<\/strong> tab (under Properties).\n
            \n
          • From the drop-down menu, select Create Variants from All Properties<\/strong> option, and then press the Departure<\/em> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • The system will prompt you in a pop-up window to create the options (based on the previous example, 3 pieces: S, M, L). Push OK. [Screenshot location: The Variants tab, with the generation option selected from the drop-down menu]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Setting each variant (Price and Image)<\/strong> In the list you can now see the sizes S, M, L. Clicking on their name opens their detailed settings.\n
              \n
            • Mandatory:<\/strong> For each variant Compulsory to fill in the General Price<\/strong>, otherwise that version will not show up to the customer!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Optional:<\/em> Here you can also add a separate image for the variations (e.g. if the red version is chosen, change the image to red).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Click on Save changes<\/em> button, then in the upper right corner of the blue Publication<\/strong> button! [Screenshot location: Details of an opened version (e.g. size \u2018S\u2019) highlighting the mandatory field \u2018General price\u2019 in a red frame]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              \ud83d\udca1 Common Error: The \"Add to cart\" button has disappeared for the variable product!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              If you have created a variable product, but the customer cannot add it to the cart on the website (the button is missing), its 99%There is only one reason in: you forgot to enter a price under the Variations tab for the generated options. WooCommerce won\u2019t allow you to buy any option that doesn\u2019t have a price assigned to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Do you need custom product fields or special calculations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              If your product is not just a simple T-shirt, but, say, a shutter where the customer has to specify the width and height (and the system calculates a price based on it), it cannot be handled by plain WooCommerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
