About this plugin
OptionGrid Variation Matrix for WooCommerce replaces the standard WooCommerce variation
dropdowns with a layout that shows every variation of a product at the same time. Customers enter a
quantity next to each variation they want and add them all to the cart in one click,
which is far quicker than selecting attributes one combination at a time.
This is particularly useful for wholesale stores, apparel (size and colour grids),
print and packaging suppliers, and any shop where a customer typically buys several
variations of the same product in a single order.
Two layouts
- Grid — a responsive card for each variation, with a configurable number of columns and spacing.
- Matrix — a two dimensional table with one attribute across the top and another down the side. Ideal for size and colour grids.
Key features
- Bulk add to cart: choose quantities across many variations and add them all at once.
- Per-product configuration: every product chooses its own layout and display options.
- Show or hide the variation image, attributes, SKU, price, stock status and description.
- Change the heading and intro text site wide, or per product, or hide them entirely.
- Choose plugin styling, minimal styling (layout only) or no plugin CSS at all, and set the accent, text, border, header and cell colours, the base font size and the corner radius without writing any CSS.
- Live stock status, including low stock warnings that follow your WooCommerce threshold.
- Respects per-variation stock levels, minimum and maximum purchase quantities, and backorder settings.
- AJAX add to cart with mini-cart fragment refresh, so the page never reloads.
- Fully translation ready, with a POT file included.
- Templates can be overridden from your theme.
- Optional data removal on uninstall, off by default.
Pro version
OptionGrid Variation Matrix Pro adds a table layout with a
column for each attribute, and a live order totals bar showing the total items,
weight and price of the quantities entered, right above the add-to-cart button. Your
product settings and options carry over unchanged.
Template overriding
Copy any file from optiongrid-variation-matrix/public/templates/ into a
wc-variation-matrix/ folder in your child theme, and it will be used instead of
the plugin’s own template. For example:
php
