The majority of products don’t come in a single choice in eCommerce. There are many different variations like color, size, type, length, etc. That’s why WooCommerce allows you to create variable products.
Creating a variable product is easy and straightforward. But as compared to all other types of WooCommerce variable products, it is complicated to setup. If you want you can create variable products in WooCommerce with the Divi theme as well.
The fact is that attributes, images, and other terms must be applied to each variation individually.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to create variations in your Astra Theme-powered WooCommerce store.

Navigate to the ‘Variations‘ section, right below the Attributes. Then select ‘Add variation’ from the drop-down. There will be a new drop-down menu after you hit the ‘Go‘ button.
The final step is to customize the rest of the settings.
Expand the variations panel. There are options to upload an image, add the price, stock status, dimensions, and more. But it’s mandatory to set a price for variation.

You can create a new experience for your WooCommerce product variations using a variation swatches plugin. An example of such a plugin is the Variation Swatches for WooCommerce. The plugin lets you display your WooCommerce product variations as swatches.
As soon as you install the WooCommerce Variation Swatches plugin, your product page will be changed into button swatches.
The pro version allows you to change the dropdown menu into image, color, and radio button swatches on both shop and archive pages.
