Shortcode to Transform a Variable Product into a Table
Our WooCommerce variations table plugin offers multiple shortcodes, that you can use in single pages.
Single Product Shortcode
The following Shortcode can be used to transform a variable product into a variations table:
[woocommerce_variations_table product="PRODUCT_ID"]
The product parameter expects the ID of the Main Product. You can also leave out the product argument and our plugin uses the current post object:
[woocommerce_variations_table]
Multiple Products Shortcode
To show multiple variation products by their ID use the following shortcode:
[woocommerce_variations_table products="PRODUCT_ID1,PRODUCT_ID2,PRODUCT_ID3"]
Category Shortcode
To show all variable products by a category ID use the following shortcode:
[woocommerce_variations_table category="PRODUCT_CATEGORY_ID"]
Hi,
I have purchased both plugins: “Quick Order” and “Variation Table”.
I’m trying to achieve the following, or to at least know if this is possible to achieve with the combination of your plugins:
Actually my client is selling mostly sandwiches in a sandwich & coffee bar.
For example, they offer their “Tuna sandwich” in following variables:
– Size: small / medium / large
– Bread type: white / brown
– Additions: with salad & tomato / without salad & tomato
That’s quite a lot of combinations 🙂
Now the difficulty is that:
– for each of these variations a different price is applicable.
– not all their products have variations. Some are just “plain” simple.
I’m planning to import all these products, variations and different prices with the WP All Import plugin.
Now, i guess all i need to know is if it’s possible to do something like this with your plugins? Will i be able to show a relatively simple table (not too long) which allows a user to quickly select the type os sandwich they require and select size, bread type, etc… and place an order for a multitude of different sandwiches?
Then, a more general question:
Using your shortcodes, can i create tabs (or accordeon) on my shop page and have each tab show a quick order table for a different category of products? And if so, can a customer place one (!!) order from a mix of products that they picked in several different tabs / tables?
What i want to avoid at all cost is that it will show a huuuuge table wich is unuseable on smartphones. It has to be user friendly and with the huge list of products and all variations, i’m a little afraid it won’t show nicely on a smartphone….
Your feedback or a little guidance will be much appreciated!!
Thank you & have a nice day.
Thierry
I am looking forward to having the same exact question as Thierry answered. I am building a quick order table but I need to add usable variations possibilities to the table (not showing each variation as an individual item but sort it out, let’s say, with a dropdown list.
