Plugin settings

The settings control the price that your store displays for the overall variable product. Depending on your theme, this normally appears on your shop and other product listing pages, and under the product name at the top of the single product page. You can also use a shortcode (see FAQ below) to manually insert the variation price wherever you like (e.g. in pages designed using a page builder plugin).

• Price display format: Select an option from the dropdown:
  • Price range e.g. $50 – $100 (the default)
  • Starting price (long) e.g. From $50
  • Starting price (short) e.g. $50+
  • Maximum price e.g. Up to $100
  • List all variation prices
  • Hide the price until a variation is selected
  • Custom
• Price range separator: This option only appears when the ‘Price range’ option is selected. By default, WooCommerce will display a hyphen/dash between the low and high variation prices, e.g. “$50 – $100“. You can replace this by adding an alternate character – for example, if you set the price range separator to / then the price will appear as “$50 / $100“.
• Custom format: This option only appears when ‘Custom’ is selected. It displays two plain text fields which you can use to add any text that you would like to display instead of the usual variation price, in any order:
  • Custom format for products with different variation prices: Use this field to change the price format for any products where different variations have different prices. The following merge tags are supported:
    • {min} – displays the price of the least expensive variation.
    • {max} – displays the price of the most expensive variation.
    • {min_inc_tax} – displays the price of the least expensive variation including tax.
    • {min_exc_tax} – displays the price of the least expensive variation excluding tax.
    • {max_inc_tax} – displays the price of the most expensive variation including tax.
    • {max_exc_tax} – displays the price of the most expensive variation excluding tax.
  • Custom format when all prices are the same: Use this field to change the price format for any products where all the variations are exactly the same price. You can display the price by using any of the above merge tags (it doesn’t matter if you use ‘min’ or ‘max’ because all the variations are the same price). For example, from {min} to {max} + VAT would display the price as: “from $50 to $100 + VAT“.
• Product type: Use this option to choose which product types the variation price format are used for. You can select variable products, grouped products, or both. By default, this is enabled for variable products and disabled for grouped products.
• Hide the main price on the single product page until a variation is selected: Enable this to hide the overall price for the variable product when the page first loads. When the customer selects a variation, the price of that variation will appear.
• Show selected variation price: This option is enabled by default. When the customer selects a variation, it updates the main price on the product page with the price of that variation.
  
  Note: WooCommerce provides an option to set a default variation for each product. If ‘Show selected variation price’ is enabled then any products with default variations will always show the price for that variation instead of the price for the overall product.
• Disable on Shop page: Enable this option if you do not want the new variation price format to appear outside of the single product page. For example, this option prevents the plugin from changing the way that variable pricing is displayed on the main Shop page, product category pages, and in related products listings on other pages.
• Use in admin: This option allows you to choose whether the amended variation price format is used in the WordPress admin, or just on the front end of your website. The option is disabled by default.
