WooCommerce Sold Individually for Variations

Description

Option 1: Sell the whole variable product individually

This plugin allows you to apply the “Sold individually” WooCommerce product setting to the whole variable product (including its variations), thus not allowing the customer to buy more than one unit of the variable product, even if it’s a different variation.

Example: Your WooCommerce store has a wine that you sell in 2-pack or 6-pack boxes, and, let’s say, for logistical reasons you don’t want the customer to buy both in a single order. With this WooCommerce extension, the client can only pick one unit of one of the variations.

Inspired by this GitHub thread.

Option 2: Sell a variation individually

You can also set that a specific variation is “Sold individually”. In that scenario, the variable product should NOT be set as “Sold individually”.

Example: Your WooCommerce store sells music, both as physical CDs and digital downloads. Each album is a product with variations, allowing the customer to either buy the physical CD (as many as he wants) or the audio download (sold individually).

FAQ

This plugin allows adding another variation to the cart if it has meta. Is it possible to block this?

The way we’re checking for the existence of another variation in the cart is the same WooCommerce uses to find a product, which does not consider the same product with a different meta to be the same product.

If you want to override this behavior and want to avoid another variation, with a different meta, to be allowed on the cart, return true to the woo_sold_individually_for_variations_ignore_cart_meta filter.

When I try to edit a product I get following error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function This is probably caused by line 69 class-woo-sold-individually-for-variations.php

On many of my variable products, I offer digital downloads as well as physical CDs. This plugin allows me to specify the downloadable products must be sold individually, while the CDs are able to be purchased in quantity. I’ve just installed the plugin and it appears to work well and provide a simple way of doing this which was previously not possible with the default Woocommerce plugin.
