Setting a fully virtual store

    I’m looking for a solution to set a WooCommerce to only virtual products. The site uses a Vendor system so other people will have the ability to create products. I need them only to be able to create virtual products (no shipping etc).

    Essentially, when a user goes on to the ‘Add new product’ page, it will automatically tick the virtual product checkbox and not allow them to uncheck it.

    Any help would be very grateful 🙂

    @tonywh –

    You’ll probably need to use some code to remove those options.

    I found this really terrific tutorial on how to do that: https://rudrastyh.com/woocommerce/product-types.html

    Note that I have not tested this and we are not affiliated with that website. 🙂

    Thank you, that actually helped me solve another solution! However, this just shows how to remove the option of virtual products, I need the ability to set every product that is created to be a virtual product.

    I have tried using JQuery to automatically check the text box but it doesn’t actually set it to a virtual product until the user unchecks it and checks it again.

    Thanks again.

    Hi @tonywh,

    Try this function in your theme’s functions.php file to automatically set any product created to be virutal.

    Hi @tonywh

    I hope Mike’s tip helped point you to a solution.

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.

    Thanks,
