WPC Linked Variation
WPC Linked Variation for WooCommerce is a plugin by WPC that links separate products together through shared attributes. Shoppers see the related products as swatches, much like the variation selectors on a variable product, while each item stays a standalone product you manage on its own.

What it does
Many stores sell items that come in several colors or styles, but some of those items work better as separate products. Product bundles, smart grouped products and composite products are examples, since they cannot simply become variations of one variable product. This plugin lets you connect them anyway. You create common attributes, set up the matching terms, and the linked products appear together on the product page as attribute-based swatches that look like regular WooCommerce variation selectors. No coding is needed.
You choose how products are grouped, using categories, tags or attributes as the source for each link. You can set where the linked variations appear on the product page, or place them anywhere on your site with a shortcode. When a shopper clicks a swatch, the linked product can open in the same tab, in a new tab or in a quick view popup through the WPC Smart Quick View plugin. The plugin requires WooCommerce and is translatable for multilingual stores.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling items in many colors or styles
- Shops using bundles, grouped or composite products
- Store owners who want linked products without coding
Features

Questions about WPC Linked Variation
Do my products have to be variable products for this to work?
No. The plugin links separate products, including bundles, smart grouped products and composite products, through shared attributes. Each item remains its own product with its own settings, and shoppers see them together as swatches.
Can I show the linked swatches somewhere other than the product page?
Yes. You can set the display position on product pages, and you can also use a shortcode to place the linked variations anywhere else on your site.
What happens when a customer clicks a linked swatch?
You decide. The linked product can open in the same tab or a new tab, or it can appear in a quick view popup when you use the WPC Smart Quick View plugin alongside it.

You create common attributes and configure their terms, then choose categories, tags or attributes as the source for the linked group. The setup does not require any coding.
