Adding multitude of variables

Hi,
I’m adding T-Shirts to my products list.
There are so many variables, I don’t even know where to start:
Standard Shirts, Fashion Shirts, Women’s fashion, Men’s fashion, etc.
Then Brands, 5 different brands.
6 different sizes
at least 8 different color shirts, for each Brand, with color swatches
10 or more ink swatches to choose color
Should I start by making sub-catagories ? Such as:
Standard Shirts
color
sizes
Number of ink colors and show a color swatch to select
Number of shirts
I don’t know how to show a color swatch and make it a selection.
If anyone has a plug-in that can help, that would be awesome. But I am on disability and am trying to create this store to supplement my income
Or, if anyone else has had to go through this tedious process, I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks
Steve Fox

You can do this with the core WooCommerce and some webmasters do have lots of variations. The latest version of WooCommerce has improved handling of large numbers of variations. See:

Try it and see how it works for you, but if the numbers get to be unmanageable see if one of these is suitable:

http://codecanyon.net/item/product-options-for-woocommerce-wp-plugin/7973927
http://www.woothemes.com/products/product-add-ons/

add-ons tend not to manage stock level.

Thanks, I’ll try my best. I used to be able to handle things at the coding level if I had to. Not to sharp on that anymore.
Guess I’ll just have to plug away at it. It will take a lot of time.
Thanks,
Steve

I cannot find the correct page to edit :woocommerce_admin_meta_boxes_variations_per_page
It says functions.php, but in which section? Can you direct me to the correct directory, and file to edit this number.
Thanks,
Steve

The code to use is here:
https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/improving-the-variations-interface-in-2-4/
```
function custom_wc_admin_variations_per_page( $qty ) {
  return 20;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_admin_meta_boxes_variations_per_page', 'custom_wc_admin_variations_per_page' );
```
It doesn’t go in a section, it goes on its own at the end.

functions.php is in your theme root:
wp-content/themes/my-theme-name/functions.php

Note that the functions.php in your theme may be overwritten by theme updates, so the recommended practice is to make a child theme:
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Child_Themes
and put your custom code in functions.php for the child theme.
The first line in this file should be:
```
<?php
```
