 * Good Evening,
 * We have an XML of a vendor that contains some PCs that have options, Extra RAM,
   Operating System and various SSD capacities.
 * I followed that he was saying to do in this video
 * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1nx4po0dsc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1nx4po0dsc)
 * But I probably do something wrong, because it does not show me no choice with
   prices, just added me to Tab with Specification.

 * I have also noticed that several products while your plugin has successfully 
   added the product price, the products appear without price. I do not know if 
   the above problem with the specific xml plays a role because in others I have
   not noticed this issue.

 * Hey [@b_dark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/b_dark/),
 * Unfortunately, this file format is not compatible with our plugins at this time.
   There would need to be child XML elements that contain *all* of the variation
   information, including the actual price (not a +/- adjustment like add-ons). 
   There’s an example on this page: [http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/woocommerce/variable-products/](http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/woocommerce/variable-products/).
 * I’m sorry, I wish I had better news. Let me know if you have any other questions.
