• Hi,

    For all Variable Products, the stock status at the Product level is not updated even if product variations have several in stock. For example. a product with 3 variables with each of them “1” in stock, the main product still displays “0” as stock.

    Worse, we have no way of easily finding out if each variation has stock. This may be fine if you have similar product variations, but for people who sell clothes with sizes and colors, it is a nightmare.

    I would advise 2 things:

    – First, have an option in settings to always display all variables for each product by default in the list. For some clients, each variable is a completely different product with separate stock, and all they care about is the stock for each variable (for my client for example who sell gloves, colors have totally different stock and they don’t produce same amount). It’s actually very complicated to open each reference to see if each of the colors still have stock.
    – Second, try to pass the sum of stocks for product variables to the total of the product. Each displays 0 even if stock, and at least this would help a bit.

    Your plugin is absolutely amazing, and I would gladly pay 20$ to see those features implemented ASAP. My clients badly need accurate stock management and it seems you only need a small push from the plugin you already developed.

    Thanks in advance!

    Please find below 2 screenshots of the 1st product in the list, when closed (showing 0) and when variations opened (acurately showing 1 stock for each variation).

    Hello

    WooCommerce dont working this way. When you have two variations, first – 5 qty, second 6 qty a you sell one piece of second product, parent product didnt change stock value. You can try it.

    So i can do one thing – remove field from parent product and only show summary of all variants.

    Hi, I totally understand it doesn’t work that way, as no stock is managed on product level. I was more looking into a “visual” solution, showing something like this:

    “if product has 0 in stock but has variations, display in brackets (stock of var-1, stock of var-2,…) instead of 0).

    It seems feasible with conditional JS or jQuery maybe?

    In the meantime, the solution of only showing the variations seems pretty nice. Maybe though something to visually keep them on another level by displaying before each “set” of variations the main SKU/product they refer too.

    And I also believe you will need a button to activate/deactivate this “variation mode” or else you will make other clients without variation a bit angry 😉

    Thanks again for your feedback man, I’m not a very good coder but if I can help in any way, let me know. Maybe translating the plugin in French for you would be nice ?
