Regenerate all variations from all attributes for all variable products

    In a woocommerce website we have 2 attributes persons and destinations and 80 variable products (each one is the starting point of the excursion).

    Persons is the number of persons a vehicle can hold (1-4, 5-10, 11-20, 21-50). So we created all the variations and add the prices. But customer asked to break 11-20 attribute to 2 values (he changed his vehicles’ types) so 11-20 is now 11-15 and 16-20.

    Which is the best way to face this change? I thought that by exporting all the variations, delete them, create the new values for attribute persons, importing them back (with some csv manipulation) then I could just update the new variations prices. Is that correct? If so how I can regenerate all the variations for all variable products using all attributes without visiting every variable product one by one?

    Is there an easier way and more efficient?

    Hello @devnet22 ,

    I understand this can be a little challenging.

    Exporting and importing can be one of the ways that you can perform to make the changes.

    You can manipulate the attributes in the CSV and also add new attributes to each of the products as well in one go. These attributes will be updated on all products.

    You are unable to automatically generate variations on all products from those new attributes. Either you have to create them from the CSV and import them to the parent product or have to go through each of the individual products.

    There are some paid solutions that you can consider to make it faster.

    I hope the information helps.

    Thank you 🙂
