What problem does it solves

A common requirement in ecommerce is to offer the users an easy way to select variations of a product. When there is no need for stock management this can be done with simple custom fields. But when we need our variations to have stock, each variation should be defined as a seperate product.

The above process can be done easily with that plugin. You just have to create a parent product which will be used as a pattern. Then by assigning the stockable plugin to that product, you can create as many variations as you wish (like using normal custom fields). The plugin will create automatically a child product for each variation with the price, stock and image that you define.

What are the advantages of using that plugin

1. The process is really simple. By just filling a couple of fields you have your variations ready from 1 point, without the need to load other pages. Each new variation can have it's own image, name, sku and price

2. Unlimited number of custom fields can be used to create combinations.

3. The generated child products will have custom fields assigned. That means that they can be searched and filtered using these fields.

4. Can be combined with custom plugins, to generate a more attractive result.

5. A variation can be connected with a new product or with an existing one.
