Need Help Finding a Plugin for WooCommerce Variation/Option Pricing

    I’m building a WooCommerce store and finding that using the standard WooCommerce Variations pricing tool is going to make managing my pricing options very difficult. Some products could end up with hundreds of rules and when an option adds 49.95 to the price you can’t just say add 49.95 to the price, you have to do the math, which can create errors that are more difficult to spot.

    I found the Bulk Variations Manager plugin below, which would have allowed me to just set a base price, then add increases when certain Attributes were present. However, I later found it only works on dedicated servers, which I won’t be able to afford anytime soon.

    I’ve looked at the top Variations plugins and don’t see anything else that will resolve this. Can anyone offer suggestions?

    Found one possible option on my own. Seems to require quite a few manual steps, but probably an improvement over the standard interface. Also, it’s not clear whether this only works for typing in numbers, rather than selecting options.

    Hey there!

    What I would recommend is either using the built-in variations or something like https://www.woocommerce.com/products/product-add-ons/ or https://www.woocommerce.com/products/gravity-forms-add-ons (the GF one needs the Gravity Forms plugin to build the product).

    Hopefully that helps! Have a great one!

    If your pricing is that complicated, you should be doing it in a spreadsheet and then importing the changes.
    Also consider building more products and less variations per product.
    example- The first site eCommerce site I made I did backwards- I used the sizes for an art store as products and the images as variations. When I multiplied the 50 images by 6 colors I had 300 variations per product and a site that would not work- make sure you are not doing something like that. I don’t believe the plugin you mentioned needs a dedicated server but you probably need a very good shared host where you can raise PHP memory to 250MB or 500MB. If your hosting is telling you that, you may not have a good host.

    Hello andy3000, I don’t know if there’s a way to selectively export variation data but my Product CSV is such a mess it wouldn’t be possible to edit the data in the spreadsheet. I didn’t use Product Add Ons after I bought it, because I didn’t like the presentation. The back-end works great but the page shows incremental pricing and all the details which I don’t want; I’ve come to the conclusion that my developer can probably move the final price to where I want it on the page and hide the rest of the stuff I don’t want shown.
