What customers say about our WooCommerce Better Variations plugin
This is the only plugin I've found that handles out-of-stock variations well! With the plugin, the out-of-stock options can be grayed out and made unselectable, or the styling (color and sort order) of the variations can be altered to make the out-of-stock options appear at the bottom of the list and they are clearly shown in a different color with a message. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Better Variations is working well for us at Velospeed. It's allowing people to see which bikes are actually in stock which we couldn't do before and that helps them make their decision more easily. The whole process of buying the plugin and being able to discuss with you directly was trouble-free and easy. Thanks!

Do you offer refunds?
Yes, there’s a 14 day money back guarantee. The purpose of this guarantee is to give you plenty of time to assess the plugin to see if it will meet your needs.
During the 14 days, if you’ve got any questions about the plugin and what you are hoping to achieve with it, just raise a support ticket and we’ll get back to you.

Is there a free trial?
We don’t offer free trials or backend demos but all products are backed by a 14 money back guarantee so if the plugin isn’t what you wanted, we will issue you with a refund.
This allows you to spend time testing the plugin on your own environment, with your own theme and with your own plugins. It’s the best way to help you be sure that the plugin is what you want.
You can also upgrade your licence at any time – so, if you wish, you can purchase a Yearly licence initially then upgrade to the Lifetime licence within the first year and just pay the difference.
If you have any questions during your 14 day refund period, you can raise a support ticket and we will get straight back to you.
How long is the licence valid for?
Yearly licences are valid for a year. During that time you are entitled to receive free updates and support. After 12 months, yearly licences will automatically renew. You can cancel at any time.
Lifetime licences are a single, one-off payment. Lifetime licences do not expire and you are entitled to receive all future updates for the plugin.
You can purchase a Yearly licence then upgrade to Lifetime if you wish. Upgrade within the first year to just pay the difference.
Can I upgrade my licence and just pay the difference?
Yes, you can upgrade your licence any time in the first year and just pay the difference. So if you want to upgrade from Basic to Pro or if you want to upgrade from Yearly to Lifetime, you can do so and only pay the difference in price.
Also, if you wish, you upgrade from one product to a bundle that contains that product and also only pay the difference. So you can buy one or more products then upgrade to the All Access Bundle and only pay the difference in price.
What’s the difference between Basic and Pro licences?
The Basic licence entitles you to updates and support for one site; the Pro licence entitles you to updates and support for unlimited sites.
You can try out the Basic licence first then upgrade to Pro at any time. Here’s how to upgrade your licence.
Is the plugin translatable?
Yes, all our plugins are fully translatable and many come with translations in various languages. If you wish to contribute your own translations, we can add those to the core plugin to ensure they don't get overwritten.
The plugins are also compatible with WPML and other popular multilingual plugins like LocoTranslate.
Features
Can I display bulk variations in a grid?
Yes, you can use the plugin to display your variations in a bulk order form so that customers can select quantities for multiple variations and add them all to the cart with one click.
You can enable this for some or all of your variable products.
Where is the bulk variations grid displayed?
If you have the bulk variations feature enabled, the grid will replace the standard WooCommerce variation dropdown fields.
If you prefer, you can choose to display the grid below the main product image. In this case, the grid will display at the full width of the product page.
Can I display the bulk variations grid at the full page width?
Yes, if you're using the bulk variations feature, there's an option to display the grid below the main product image to allow it to occupy the full page width.
What if the grid is too wide for the page?
If you're using the bulk variations grid and you have too many columns to fit on the page, there are a couple of options:
- You can use the full-width option to move the grid below the product image. This way, it will occupy the full width of the product page
- Users can scroll or drag the table in order to view any hidden columns
Can I include add-on fields after the bulk variations grid?
Yes, with the Product Add-Ons Ultimate plugin you can include all types of add-on field. So users can upload artwork to accompany their selected variations, add custom text, or make other personalized selections.
Can I apply quantity-based discounts to variations?
Yes, with our Dynamic Pricing and Discount Rules plugin, you can create rules to apply discounts based on the number of items that the user selects.
Is it possible for the user to request a quote for bulk variations?
Yes, with our WooCommerce Request a Quote plugin, you can add a 'Request a Quote' button to the product page. When the user selects their variations, they can add them to a quote form that is sent directly to you.
Can I display images in the bulk variations grid headings?
Yes, if you wish you can display images in the row and column headings for the grid. These images are pulled from the attributes or automatically generated from variation images.
Can I display variations on shop and archive pages in the same way as standard products?
Yes, you can enable this feature with a single click so that variations are displayed on shop and archive pages just like simple products - so the user can add them to their cart directly without needing to go through to product pages.
Furthermore, you can also choose to hide the parent variable products from archive pages if you wish and/or hide any variations that are out of stock.
How does the plugin handle out-of-stock variations?
When a product variation is out of stock, the plugin can automatically display a custom message and/or disable the variation from the dropdown field. You can configure these settings to suit your store’s needs.
Can I customize the out-of-stock messages?
Yes, you can customize the out-of-stock messages displayed to customers. This helps maintain a consistent brand voice and provides clear communication about product availability.
Can the plugin display stock status for individual product variations?
Yes, the plugin displays stock status for each product variation. Customers can see whether a specific variation (e.g., size, color) is in stock or out of stock, improving their shopping experience and reducing cart abandonment.
