Woocommerce - How to Add Product Attributes and Variations?

Solution

This is the preferred method for adding custom attributes to your Woocommerce store.

If you want it done for you.

Where to Add the Attributes?

Woocommerce is a bit confusing, having two methods. But they do!

This is what WE DO NOT recommend. Using These Attributes.

Please Note: If you are already set up you can still use these products to enable for Dropshipping. But if you have issues, it maybe easier to start with a new product using the following method.

The method we prefer is adding "custom" attributes when you create a product. We'll show you how now!

Please Note: You will only need to do this once for the first product, then use the Woocommerce Copy function to duplicate multiple products. You need to change the bits that are different. But, it's much quicker that way.

Watch as we set up the attributes for a product

Add a new Product to Woocommerce this is what it should look like in the product data setting.

Change the product type to a "Variable product"

Click on the Attributes tab.

Then add a Custom Product Attribute

TIP: Don't add attributes from the drop down. ONLY Choose "Custom product attributes" and add your attributes like this.

Add your Attrubute Name. Do the next step twice.. one fore each variable: Sizes,Colours)

This is what it should look like when you done.. Add you variation using the format below. Each option separated by the pipe symbol (|)

Save your custom attributes.

There are extra fields for each variable by clicking on the "Variations" Tab.

This is where you add the price for each product variations.

You can add:

specific mock-ups of each colour way
Add sale prices
Change price for larger sizes

Finish off the rest of your product in Woocommerce.

The two attribute names are then added to the Dropshipping (plugin) settings page. (So we know the exact name you used for your attributes)

Please Note: This field only works with 2 attribute names. One name for "Colours" and another name for "Sizes". They must be used on every product you want us to drop ship.
