Shortcode to Transform a Variable Product into a Table

WooCommerce Variations Table ShortcodesViewed 4400 times

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"]

    Both will have own columns. You can only combine them when you use our filters for coding.

    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.

    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
