WPC Linked Variation is a sharp tool for WooCommerce store owners to make life simple and easy. It allows users to connect a group of any product types together by attribute(s) while they can still be managed as separated products. All products will be organized neatly by attributes with an elegant swatches style just as the variation swatches look for normal variable products. What is worth mentioning is that our plugin allows users to link items of many product types together. In your dream, have you ever wondered how you can group a Product Bundles, a Smart Grouped Product, and a Composite Products together? This plugin just realizes your dream. No complex codes. Need to create a common attribute(s) then configure the terms for them, then you can effortlessly configure the swatches display for those products. If you have ever felt exhausted from finding useful tools to configure complex settings at the variation level, this plugin will save the day. Many of the great plugins, including most of our WPC plugins, are only available at the product level. With this plugin, you can still use plugins on your products while linking them together at ease and showcase in an informative style. Noticeably, WPC Linked Variation is integrated with the Quick View feature from the WPC Smart Quick View plugin, which allows buyers to preview products right on the current page. This helps improve the user experience and makes customers stay on track with the currently viewed products. Live demo Visit our live demo here to see how this plugin works. How to link any product types by attributes Key Features Configure a position to display the linked variations on each single product page. Swatches style for linked variations. Use the shortcode to display the linked variations in any place on your site. Preview individual products in a new tab, the same tab, or on a Quick View popup. Translatable for multilingual sites Integrated with the feature from the WPC Smart Quick View plugin Compatible with most WooCommerce themes & plugins Steps to set up linked variations STEP 1: Create the attributes by navigating to WooCommerce >> Attributes, configure a name, slug, then click on the Configure the terms button to add terms. If the attributes you need have already been created, you still need to check carefully if the terms are fully configured or not. STEP 2: Go to the single product page, in the Product Data section, open the Attributes tab, and check the drop-down list to make sure the attributes chosen are the ones configured in the Attributes section above. Since WPC Linked Variations will display swatches buttons for linked variations, it’s important that all terms under each attribute be fully configured. If you click to create new custom attributes, then configure the terms in the Attributes tab of the product page, this won’t work, and those attributes won’t be displayed in the swatches. STEP 3: Make sure you have properly added the chosen attributes to all products that are about to be linked. The selected attributes for linked variation must be common for all chosen products. The terms used for variations must be distinctive to distinguish between. Linked variations in the preview step. For example: The chosen Attributes – Color must be chosen in the Attributes tab of both product A & product B. The terms chosen for each item must be different from each other: Color – Blue for product A & Color – Red for product B. Or both can have the same color, but they need a second common attribute where they can be distinguished. STEP 4: Navigate to WPClever >> Linked Variation: Configure a position to display the list of linked variations. Choose a preview style: in the same tab, new tab, or Quick View. Then you’re good to go. You can also read for more instructions here. Good luck and enjoy our plugin.
