Attributes as dropdown’s without variation
-
What I would like is the ability to include dropdown selections of the attribute groups & values against a given product, but without creating a variations for each. I would like to keep the product as a ‘Simple product’.
I’m aware there is the Product Add-on plugin, but I believe using this would mean re-creating said attribute groups & values for all products?
I already have the data within my WooCommerce install (saved in attributes). I would just like to show this as selectable dropdown’s to the user for each product. The selection they make would be saved within their basket & saved against their order as well – just like Product Add-On plugin does above.
I understand there will not be any price changes per-attribute (this is fine for my use-case), as the price is saved against the Product, not a variation/attribute, for a ‘Simple product’.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction for a plugin, or custom code, that would do this for me?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies guys, very appreciated.
I’ve actually managed to create what I wanted with some custom code added to
functions.phpwithin my theme. Didn’t take very long at all (~35 minutes).I may release this as a plugin as, it would seem, there is absolutely none that provide functionality quite like this (free or paid!). It’s really useful as a user can select their options & their selection is saved against their order, but without the need of creating variations – thus a lot less data in database & hugely increased product CSV import speed.
If I ever release this as a plugin, I’ll update this thread (if I can!).
Thanks again!
