Why you might use multiple prices per product in WooCommerce

There are many scenarios where you might need to display multiple prices per product in WooCommerce.

For example, let’s say you sell a hoodie that’s available in two different colors (blue and black). Instead of adding the hoodie as two separate products to your WooCommerce store, you would add it as a variable product with the color attribute. Each color could have a different price.

The key benefit of selling variations at different prices is that it’s easier to manage on the back-end. For example, you might want to sell the XL size of a t-shirt at a higher price point than the S size. This way, you can set up WooCommerce multiple prices per product easily and make it easy for customers to browse variable products.

So now we know the reasons why you might want to add multiple prices per product, lets get them set up in your WooCommerce store.

Step 2: Create a variable product

The first thing you need to do is create a variable product in WooCommerce. Here’s how:

1. Go to Products > Add New from the WordPress admin panel.
2. Give your product a name and description.
3. Scroll down to the ‘Product data’ section and select ‘Variable product’ using the drop-down that says ‘Simple product’.

Click the ‘Save Draft’ button to proceed.

Step 3: Create product attributes

Once you’ve created a WooCommerce variable product, you’ll be prompted to create product attributes for it. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Head over to Products > Attributes.
2. Enter a name for a new product attribute e.g. size or color.
3. Click the ‘Add attribute’ button.
4. Click the ‘Configure terms’ link to populate the attribute. For example, if you’re adding an attribute for color, the terms might be blue and black.

Step 4: Add attributes to the product

Go back to the variable product you created in Step #1 and scroll down to the ‘Product data’ section once again.

1. Navigate to Attributes, use the dropdown menu to select the attribute you created in Step #2, and click ‘Add’.
2. Make sure the ‘Used for variations’ checkbox is ticked.
3. Click on ‘Value’ and add all of the terms you’d like to include in your product variations.
4. Click the ‘Save attributes’ button to proceed.

Step 5: Add fees to your product attributes

When it comes to adding fees to your product attributes in WooCommerce, you can get as complicated as you like. In this example, we’re going to be adding an extra fee to a picture frame glass type. 

To set specific prices for product attributes, do the following:

1. Scroll down to the Attributes tab in the Product Data section.
