Woocommerce Variable Product Quantity

    Hello all!

    I am working within wp/woocommerce. I have set up a variable product with 3 attributes – with 10 different variations. Two of the Attributes are tracked via inventory. The product can be combined with any combination of the three attributes. However – I need the inventory available to default to the lowest inventory of the selected attribute variables: ie. If AV 1 has an inventory of 3 and AV 2 has an inventory of 1 – when both attribute selections are chosen by user – inventory available should show 1. The Caveat to this is that the combination of one of the attribute 1’s, is a different cost. So if I put AV 2 above AV 1 – then I don’t see the appropriate price for the product.

    When I place Attribute Variable (AV) 1 above AV 2, I get the correct price, but incorrect inventory – the attribute that is ‘further up the list’ takes precedence for the inventory and price. If I swap them, I get the correct inventory, but incorrect price. the total price is dependant on AV 1, but inventory available needs to be based on the lowest number from either.

    If you’re using multiple atributes for the product, each variation is it’s own “item”. Attributes don’t afect stock levels, jsut the variations that use the attributes.

    Using an example of t-shirts, you’d have a variation that has AV1 set as “Blue” and AV2 set as “Large”. That isn’t a mxi of “Blue” with 3 in stock and “Large” with 1 in stock. It means that the “Blue” and “Large” t-shirt has 1 in stock (assuming that there’s 1 product with that combination).

    Thank you for the response!

    Hmm, is there a different way to build variable products then? Maybe groups? I want the user to be able to ‘build’ their finished product from (at least) the selection of 2 differently tracked inventory items.

    If you’re building a product from other products, then look at “composite products” or kits. It sounds like that’s the sort of thing that you’re looking for.

    There’s an “official” WooCommerce plugin for it – https://woocommerce.com/products/composite-products/

    But there’s also other options like this – https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wpc-composite-products/

    Thank you!! Yes, I want to build a single product – that is built from inventories products.

    I’ll check out the above links and see if those are what I might need to be looking to use. TYVM!
