Product Variations

Variable products are a great feature of WooCommerce for offering variations of your product with different prices, stock and more. They can be used to offer variations of a product, for example different sizes for a type of T-shirt. You can set different properties and prices for each variation.

Set the product type: to add a variable product, first select the type ‘variable’ from the product type drop-down. The interface will change to reflect your selection.

Define variation attributes: on the attributes tab add some attributes to your product. You can use global attributes or define some custom ones specific for your product.

Price fields must be set per product

For more details, please follow the official docs.

Adding Product Galleries

Product galleries simply display all images attached to a product, with the Featured Image to be the primary image.

You can create a product gallery using the same method as adding a featured image, rather than using the Product Gallery meta box instead.

Product thumbnails are the gallery thumbnails on your product details page (if you have a gallery).

Uploaded images will be resized to match your input value as accurate as possible. For example, if your setting is 100×100 and you upload a 300×600 image, it will be resized to 100×200.

Set Featured Products

To mark a product as featured, go to: Products > Products and select the Star in the featured column. You can alternatively select the Quick Edit option to select the Featured option.

For more details, please follow the official docs.

On the Catelog tab, WP Dashboard >> WooCommerce >> Settings >> Products >> Display >> Product Image Sizes >> Catelog Images, of the WooCommerce settings you’ll see three image dimension inputs. These are the dimensions we use for our template product images.

Please remember that if you change these settings after uploading product images you will need to regenerate your thumbnails within WordPress for the changes to be applied to your current image (Tools >> Regen. Thumnails). To do this we recommend using the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.

Now that WooCommerce has been successfully installed and setup ,you can start building the view of you shop and other components of the site.
