Variable product

With the case of variables products it’s a little different. Woocommerce allow to create attributes with taxonomy, in this way they can be reused in the variables products and always have the same license structure.

Attributes and terms creation

For this reason, before publish a product we have to create an attribute. To do this, go to “Products” section and enter in “Attributes” where you have “Add attribute” option.

After the attribute was created, is necessary configure the terms, more specifically each type of options that your product offer.

In this case, we configured some examples like “Personal, Agency, Developer, Free y Trial”.

Variable product configuration

With the attributes and predefined terms, now you have to create a variable product from section “Products”  –> “Add New”.

Also you have to allow the “license” option, like with simple products, and you need to add to it as attribute that you created before.

Remember have activated the “Used for variations” option for the next step.
