Variations as Single Product for WooCommerce
Show every WooCommerce variation as its own product on the Shop, Category, Tag and Search result pages and in the [products] shortcode. Shoppers see the exact size, colour or style they want and add it to the cart straight from the catalogue, without opening the parent product page.

Why WooCommerce Hides Your Variations
By default, WooCommerce lists a variable product once and tucks every size, colour and style inside a drop-down on the product page. Shoppers browsing your catalogue never see most of what you sell.
Without the plugin
- One listing for a product with 20 variations
- Search for “red XL hoodie” lands on a generic product
- Filters by colour or size show the parent, not the match
- Extra clicks before a shopper can add to cart
With Variations as Single Product
- Every variation gets its own listing, image, title and price
- Search results show the exact variation shoppers asked for
- Attribute filters return the matching variation
- Add to cart directly from the Shop page
How It Works
Set up variation listings in a few minutes, with no code and no changes to your products.
- Install and activateInstall and activate the plugin. Variations start showing as single products on your Shop page right away.
- Choose where they appearTurn variations on or off for the Shop, Category, Tag and Search pages, hide parent variable products, and exclude categories, tags or attributes.
- Fine-tune each listingSet custom variation titles, exclude individual variations, and (in Pro) place variations next to their parent product. See the documentation for every setting.
Features to Show WooCommerce Variations as Single Products
Everything you need to turn variations into products shoppers can find, filter, sort and buy.
Show Every Variation as Its Own Product
Turn every variation into a standalone listing on your Shop page, so customers can compare and buy a specific size or colour without opening the product page. You decide which variations appear and whether the parent product stays visible.
- Show variations as single products
- Hide parent variable products
- Exclude variations by product attribute, such as size or colour
- Exclude variations by product category or tag
Control Variations Product by Product
Override the global settings on any product. Choose whether its variations appear as single products, and hide the parent variable product only where it makes sense.
- Exclude a product’s variations from single display
- Hide parent product for specific variations
Exclude Individual Variations and Rename Them
Hide a single variation from the catalogue while keeping the rest, for example a discontinued colour. You can also give any variation its own title so shoppers see exactly what they are buying.
- Exclude individual variations from the catalogue
- Set a custom title for each variation
Pro feature
Show Variations Next to Their Parent Product
By default, single variations are added to the end of your product list. Pro places them right beside their parent product, so related items stay together while shoppers browse.
For example, if the parent product sits in position 3, its variations appear in positions 4, 5, 6 and onwards.
- Keep variations in their natural catalogue position
- Show each variation beside its parent product
Filter Single Variations by Colour, Size and Other Attributes
Single variations work with your shop filters like any other product. Customers can filter by colour, size or any attribute and see the exact matching variation. Attributes that are not used for variations are inherited from the parent product, so filtering stays complete.
- Works with WooCommerce product filters
- Single variations appear in filter results
- Non-variation attributes inherited from the parent
Add Variations to Cart from the Shop Page
Each single variation gets an “Add to Cart” button instead of “Select Options”, so customers can buy in one click from the Shop, Category or Search page.
- “Add to Cart” button instead of “Select Options”
- Switch back to “Select Options” whenever you need
Custom Variation Titles for Clearer Listings
Give variations descriptive titles that highlight the attributes shoppers care about. Use a global title pattern for every variation, or write a custom title for any single one.
- Custom title for any individual variation
- Global title pattern, e.g. {title} in {attributes}
- Attribute format, e.g. {attribute_name}: {attribute_value}
- Edit the title directly on each variation
Star Ratings on Every Variation
Every variation shows its parent product’s star rating, so ratings stay consistent across your catalogue and social proof appears on every listing.
- Star ratings on individual variations
- Ratings inherited from the parent product
- Works with “Sort by average rating”
Sort Variations by Price, Rating, Popularity and Date
Variations are sorted like normal products, so “price low to high” really shows the cheapest size first. Popularity uses each variation’s own sales.
- Sort by Popularity
- Sort by Average Rating
- Sort by Price (Low to High)
- Sort by Price (High to Low)
- Sort by Date
