Adding Multiple 'Single Jobs' via WooCommerce

    Hi!

    I’ve been playing around with this for a while, and I just can’t seem to figure it out. To simplify my user interface, I just want ONE ‘job package’ on the product page, and then users change the attributes of the single ‘job package’ to meet their needs — and the price changes accordingly.

    For instance, the user selects ‘3 months’ from the drop-down, and ‘featured’ from the radio button, and ‘some custom attribute’ from the drop-down, etc.

    I can figure out how to do this within WooCommerce as a stand-alone, but when I select the ‘job package’ product type, I can’t seem to do it any more.

    Is there something I need to change within the plugin to enable this ability?

    Thanks!

    Job package is a product type, so this cannot be variable (because variable products need a ‘variable’ product type). Don’t think this would be an easy modification – perhaps instead you could hook into the purchase of that variable product and assign the job packs manually via your own code.

    Okay, thanks! That sounds like it should work.

    So it seems your suggestion is to:

    a. create several job packages using the Job Package product type to cover whatever needs I may have
    b. create a Composite Product using the Composite Product Woocommerce Extension
    c. incorporate the various job package products into the Composite Product as a configurable variable

    Since the WP Job Manager plugin takes the user to the Job Package page after the Preview page in the job submission process, is there a way to take the user to the as-created Composite Product page instead, without stopping the flow of the plugin?

    No, no – my suggestion is to use a variable product, and hook into the order complete hooks and grant the user access to job packages manually.

    No composite products. Didn’t consider those.

    Nope! But not bc Mike Jolley’s suggestion didn’t work… I had a change of business model, which made the problem go away. I recommend contacting Mike; he’s always been incredibly responsive and helpful to me.
