Woo Product Variation in Order Screen and Export?
Is there a way to display the Product Name AND the Product Variation in the Order table?
Currently the “Product” column only shows the main product name. I see a column for “Product – Details” which seems to show the product name and the variation combined, which is fine. But that doesn’t get included in the export for some reason.
Is there a way to have a column of all “Product – Variation” items (comma separated) that were part of the order? E.g.,
Really Cool Shirt – Large, Leather Gloves – Black, 2019 Calendar, Socks – Medium
Basically I need a way to be able to sort through variations in some form, within the Export… so I can (for example) see all products with the “Small” variation/attribute… along with the “product” it’s attached to.
Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your feedback. I do like your request. The only problem is that introducing another column for Orders that does something similar as the product and product details, might be confusing. We receive a lot of specific use cases for the order screen about how they want to see their product data / line items. Showing this for variable products is another layer of complexity we have to add.
I just made a concept of a line item column, that just shows you the line item title and the quantity, including the export logic. For variable products the line item title is something link this: {Product Title} – {Variation} so this looks quite similar to your example. Like I said before, I’m not sure if we should add another column or alter the other columns to display variation info, but at least this example gives you a working example on this column. Feel free to extract the column from the package and alter it as you please (if you’re a developer).
So does that Github addon already contain the requested fields? Or is that just a plugin that will let ME add it manually?
Hi Vincent,
The add-on already contains a plugin that will show the line items in an order in the format I suggested.
You’ll have to enable the column in the settings page (see also the description on the readme on Github)
Seems to work well, but is there any way to add filtering to the ACA_Extra_Columns_Column_ShopOrder_LineItems, to be able to filter by each $item?
Hi Vincent,
Creating filtering for that column is quite complex, so I won’t add that to the additional column addon. But we changed our Product column to show variation information instead of only the parent title/sku etc. We also changed this column to work with filtering. We have to test this change a bit more, but I expect it will be available in the next WooCommerce integration release.
