• Hello I have a couple products I have to add to a woocommerce site and I am not even able to find a freelancer to accomplish this task. there has to be a plugin or a way to do this. I am adding tubing by the foot as the product. it is 1.50 a foot, but can come with barb fitting at the end for 1.00, pvc fitting for 1.50. clamped end for .50 and a couple other the only problem is I can’t add this as a variable item because there would be thousands of variations for every product. the customer can order 1-200 feet that is already 200 variables.just with three of the add on options that makes none,option1, option 2 and option three all in 200 different lengths that would make 800 variations of the product not to mention that both ends can have fittings and there are different widths of the piping. what is the easiest way to do this? there has to be ways other then creating each possible variation and then calculating the price for each one. please someone help me I would really appreciate it

  • how about just having the 1-foot pipe as your product, with variatons for barb fitting, etc. Then the customer can order X * 1ft to get their desired length….

    Have you seen this plugin:
    http://www.woothemes.com/products/product-add-ons/
    http://docs.woothemes.com/document/product-add-ons/

    Add-ons can be applied to variable products, but can only be defined at product level. Example: You cannot have an add-on for a blue shirt only (if you are selling shirts in various colours).

    So the tubing would be the variable product. A 200 item dropdown is not very user-friendly so consider selling in say 1′ increments to 10′, then 5′ increments to 200′. This would reduce the number of variations to a more manageable 50.

    I would have different products for different pipe sizes, otherwise as you say the number of variations gets out of hand.

    The various connectors would be the add-ons.

    I leave it to you to confirm whether this plugin will do what you want before purchase. Woo have a pre-sales enquiry form if you need further advice.
