different purchase notes for different product variations

You can enter a unique description for each variant which is displayed both on the product page once the variant is selected and as a note on the product when it’s in the cart.

The description field is available in the product editor, under the “variations” tab after you click the “edit” button to the far right of each variant.

Does that do what you need?

Sorry, I don’t have experience with that.

After poking around, it looks like you’ll have to edit the WooCommerce e-mail template for the order confirmation e-mail, meaning you’ll need to write some PHP code. If you can’t find a snippet online or a plugin that solves it for you, I would either ask for help on StackOverflow or hire a freelance developer if you’re not able to code the solution yourself (or feel like learning just for this task). An experienced developer should be able to solve it in a few minutes; an inexperienced one, in less than an hour.

Maybe someone else will be able to chime in here in case there’s a more simple solution.

Good luck.

Hello gonyo,

Thank you for contacting WooCommerce support.

It’s not possible to achieve this with the core WooCommerce functionality. However, it can be done by adding a custom code to display the alternate descriptions in the purchase note that appears in the order confirmation emails.

Since custom coding is outside our support scope, I recommend reaching out to a developer for assistance.

Alternatively, you can ask for advice in the Woo Community Facebook group or Woo Community Slack, where community members might have useful suggestions or code snippets to share.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.
