Thanks for watching the video, any questions? Leave us a comment!

[@LunaGuinevereStudio]

Thanks so much! You are a great teacher/tutor as you have walked us through the whole process seamlessly. Your instructions are clear and direct to the point. I spent about 45 minutes setting up the product variables on my page and nothing worked until I watched your video. I really appreciate your effort in this video :)

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi Luna, you are most welcome! Reading this comment has made my whole day, so thanks for letting us know that we helped you out! 😀 - Sam

[@YanLb]

Thank you so much ! i hope you will answer me i have a question im working on a optician website i need to increase the initial price with each option added on the glass, it should be easy to do with variations options, im i missing something ?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, Yan. Thanks for your comment! For your optician/glass specifications use case, I suggest you consider using a combination of variations (for product specs that need stock management or inventory enabled) and product options (for optional and non-inventory customization options). For this you can use WooCommerce Bulk Variations ( barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-bulk-variations/? ) and WooCommerce Product Options ( barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-product-options/? ). Let me know if you have any more questions. You can also get in touch via our dedicated Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ to discuss your requirements in more detail. Best regards, -Edge

[@YanLb]

@@Barn2Plugins Thank you i rewatched the video and i solved it

[@jack2media]

Can the variations have more than one image that switches as only the main image switches with the colour and not the other images?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Yes! If you use WooCommerce Product Options instead of variations, the plugin has the feature which will allow you to add an image for each color and you can choose to update the main product image when a choice is selected. Should you have further questions about our plugin, please contact us via our Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! - Keza

Is there a way to hide unused tshirt color options on the size & color variation? I have 50 tshirt colors which makes the page very long, if they can choose just a couple shirt to show on the grid layout that would be great

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, Mason. Thanks for using WooCommerce Bulk Variations. Please could you submit a request via our dedicated Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ and include your license key (which you can easily obtain from the plugin settings page) so that we can assist you best and as quickly as possible. Many thanks! -Edge

[@NathanHill-m6m]

Hi! I am having a hard time with my Wordpress website. It is a wholesale product store. When you click on the color way on the drop down it does change the photo, but if you click on the photo down below, it does not change the drop down menu to the appropriate color way. Please assist? Any plugin suggestions for that?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, Nathan. Thanks for chiming in. I'm happy to help look into your concern, albeit I'm unclear about what you mean by "color way". You can reply with a screen recording video to help describe what you'd like to achieve. You can do this for free by going to screencast.com, zight.com (or a service of your choice), uploading the screenshot/recording and sending the URL in a reply. Alternatively, you can get in touch via our dedicated Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ so that we can discuss your needs in more detail. Many thanks, -Edge

[@jamespandian3166]

how about for those product that doest have a variable?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi James. Can you please help me understand your concern so I can address your concern? - Keza

[@MannyNieves]

It will be good to do a video on how to upload an excel list of products variable, because one by one is easy, but multi- items, I can't find a basic video on how to do it... Great video by the way..!

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi Manny. Thanks for your kind words and suggestion. We'll look into creating a video tutorial on how to bulk upload variable products. In the meantime, what I can suggest is to utilize the built-in WooCommerce importer, or any import plugin such as Product CSV Import Suite to bulk upload variable products. The exact process will depend on whichever you choose to use so I recommend referring to their documentation. Thanks! -Keza

[@lucasrutten5419]

Thanks for this tutorial. But I have 1 question, if I have for example white as a colour and size M set to 1 in stock and someone is buying that, there is a cross in the letter M as well as in the colour, but then nobody else can buy with that colour. I want that there is a cross in the size but not in the colour. How can I do this?

[@lucasrutten5419]

without the plugin^^

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, @@lucasrutten5419. Thanks for your comments. To allow customers to add a white product to the cart if/when size M is out of stock, you should have other sizes other than M available or in stock for that white color. I hope this makes sense and helps. Let me know how it goes, and if you have any more questions. Best regards, -Edge

[@lucasrutten5419]

Yes I have that, but it still shows a red cross ​trough the colour@@Barn2Plugins

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, @@lucasrutten5419. Thanks for your reply. Please check in the Edit Product page (back-end) whether the other sizes (aside from M) are purchasable. Are you using any of the plugins mentioned in the video description to display your variations? If so, which one? -Edge

[@lucasrutten5419]

I dont use any plugins to show the variations. ​@@Barn2Plugins

[@ArdhenBracero]

Hi, What if I want to add two attributes for sizes let's say Men size and Women size, tried it but it's not possible or there's another way?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi Ardhen! Thanks for your comment. You can achieve this by creating a Gender attribute for Men and Women and adding them as variations apart from the sizes to your products. This will how it would look like (see: share.zight.com/KouKXn4L ). Should you have further questions, please reach us via our Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! - Keza

[@cgc2300]

hello I installed the plugin then I created a variable product with multiple images on each of the variations then I exported this product to a CSV file then I deleted this product from my store and then I imported the CSV again containing the variable product the import goes well I mean that the variable product imports correctly but the problem is with regard to the variations because it no longer includes the images, do you know why? anyway thank you very much for your videos

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, @cgc2300. Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with what sounds to be variation images missing from a product that was exported to CSV, deleted, and then added back via CSV import.

[@alejandraguevara804]

Hello, I want to create a color variation. For example, there are 3 colors of t-shirts, I want these 3 products to appear on the main page separately, but when entering the product these variations also exist. Please can you explain to me how to do it?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, Alejandra. Thanks for asking. You can use our WooCommerce Product Table plugin ( barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-product-table/ref/1075/ ) to display variations separately on the main shop page of your website.

How can I add sizes and colour options to my Tshirt combos? Means I have a combo of 5 dot design tshirts and I want customers to select as per their size and colour choice.

[@jaxttuff]

What do I do if I’m selling parts of something like a cologne in decants. So let’s say I have a bottle of 50ML and I’m selling 2 ml 5 Ml and 10 ml and 20 of the 2 ML sell so the bottle only has 10 Ml left but before I can adjust the stock someone buys 2 10ML and I don’t have enough to make one of them. How can I automate this

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, @jaxttuff. Thanks for asking. If I understand what you described correctly, I believe you should add/create your cologne as a composite product. For full details, please see: woo.com/document/group-bundle-products-woocommerce/ . I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. You can also get in touch via our Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ . Cheers, -Edge

[@scottymitch1]

Hope someone can help with a little advice. We have a site selling framed images. We have around 700 different images. All the images are currently the same size and sell for the same price. Given the success of these images, we'd now like to sell unframed versions in a range of sizes (6). Is there an easy way to add these variations to our existing products, including the prices, hopefully without having to do it one product at a time? Again, all images of the same size will sell for the same price.

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, @scottymitch1. Thanks for your comment. I'm happy to help look into your concern. The new product versions that you want to add will need to be new variable products that have a (1) framed/unframed and (2) size attribute. You can avoid having to add/create 1 variable product at a time by importing products in bulk via a CSV file. For full details, see: woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/ . I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards, -Edge

[@016rajeev]

Is there a way to Create Variations to existing Products?

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi Rajeev! Thanks for your comment. I would recommend creating product options instead since managing variations can be very time-consuming as you will need to create a separate variation for every possible combination of options. It's much simpler to use product options instead of variations as each option is managed independently. You can use our WooCommerce Product Options plugin (barn2.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-product-options/) to do that. If you want to know more about this plugin and how you can use it in your store, feel free to reach out via our Support Center - barn2.com/support-center/. Cheers! - Keza

[@linux82]

Great tutorials from the Barn2 plugin . I would just wish all plugin companies to follow suit. A question I always had: Is there a way to see the order first when clients check out (and without making payment) until the website owner manually send them a proforma invoice for payment ( just incase the supplier had a increase in pricing) is there a plugin for that? Thanks a lot. Tbh. Wholesale Pro is much better than B2B king

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi there! Thank you for your kind words. You can achieve what you described by using any of the of the offline payment methods that are built into WooCommerce, such as 'Direct bank transfer', 'Check payments' or 'Cash on delivery' and rename it into Pay by invoice within 30 days or whichever you prefer. This way, customers will not be charged right away and website owners can still review their orders then bill them accordingly. Hope this helps.

Ok well I tried this out, Hours of trying nothing worked at all. Then I canceled and it said it would run till the subscription expired So the 30day moneyback guarantee is not true. Also like every other tech company anymore no one to contact.

[@Barn2Plugins]

Hi, @demomike11. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulty with what sounds to be setting up one of our WooCommerce plugins, and so would like your money back as a result. We're happy to give you a refund, albeit I wonder if I can help you first. Would you like to send me details of the issue you’re experiencing, and perhaps I can advise on whether there’s a solution? I’m happy to advise you on how to set up the plugin for your exact use case. We can discuss your concerns via our Support Center at barn2.com/support-center/ so that I can also pull up your account and purchase info. Note that merely canceling your plugin license subscription is not a refund request (see: barn2.com/kb/annual-subscription/#if-i-cancel-my-subscription-can-i-keep-using-the-plugin and barn2.com/kb/refund-policy/#how-can-i-get-a-refund ).
