# Proper Product Variation Setup

 * I have products with different models and they have different attributes.
    for
   example
 * Model 1 = 120Watt + 2 groups + 15lt + Weight: 50kg, dimensions yy x yy x yy, 
   price, sku, image
 * Model 2 = 140Watt + 3 groups + 20lt + Weight: 100kg, dimensions yy x yy x yy,
   price, sku, image
 * I am trying to enter them as variable products in Woocommerce.
 * Then I would like to be able to choose the model or maybe one of the other attributes
   and all other information change accordingly.
 * Currently weight, dimensions, price, sku and image change normally. But my other
   custom attributes don’t.
 * I have entered them in the system like “global attributes”. I have latest version
   of woocommerce and storefront.
 * When model is “Used for Variations” and other custom attributes are only “Visible
   on the product page” we would like those attributes to also change as it happens
   with default attributes (price, image, weight, dimensions etc).
 * But they don’t. The only valid solution I can find is to not add those as attributes
   but instead add them to the description field of the Variation product and have
   them change there, but I would like to ask and make sure, that there is no better
   way to achieve this, maybe with the use of a plugin or something else before 
   I enter 500 products in my DB.
 * Please let me know if this is not clear.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi [@christodt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christodt/),
 * If your attributes are not “Used for Variations”, then they are not factored 
   into the variations. Setting them as “Visible on product page” means that they
   are there as extra information to the buyer and have no bearing on the product’s
   price or anything else.
