Variable Product correct approach?

Hi all.

I need help with figuring out if this is the correct path.

I’m developing a shop with WooCommerce. Basically, there is one product with 3 different sizes. Also, this product should be of a color from a list (about 100k different colors, each with his own name and additional data).

When you visit the site, there will be a listing of different categories, each with a bunch of colors. When you click on a color, you get on the single product page mentioned before.

So, I was thinking of creating the colors in its own post type and then somehow linking the one product to it.
The other way, of which I have thought, is to create each color as its own product, but I think that this would not be optimal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi @lokifan

To help me understand it, can you show us an example of what you’re trying to achieve? Maybe sharing a screenshot will help us to visualize it.

I’d recommend using https://snipboard.io/ if applicable! 🙂

Also, have you checked if using a plugin like this one below, can help you add all those color variations?

I hope to hear from you soon! All the best!

Hello,

Thanks for sending this information.

You can take a look at this article to check if any of the plugins on it fit your needs, also you can check the option provided previously by @chiape.

I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone is able to chime in to help you out.

In case you need more customization you can visit the WooCommerce Developer Resources Portal for resources on developing for WooCommerce.

Also please check the WooCommerce Facebook group or the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for WooCommerce.

Thank you.
