What is a WooCommerce Price Matrix?

A WooCommerce pricing matrix is a way to display product prices on the front end in a table or grid format. Depending on the types of products you offer, you can design several types of WooCommerce price matrices.

Customers can easily make informed purchasing selections when prices are displayed in a matrix layout on the front end. It also boosts product (and variant) visibility, making it more probable for shoppers to discover and add things to their cart. Finally, a WooCommerce price matrix allows you to speed up your online store’s purchasing user flow.

A WooCommerce price matrix can help you improve your client’s online shopping experience while also potentially increasing your average order value (AOV).

To install the WooCommerce Product Table plugin, you will need to install the Woosuite Core plugin and activate it with the help of a license key. We have created a Quick Start Guide for you to figure out how to install and activate the WooCommerce Product Table plugin. 

2. Create a New Product Table

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, we need to create a product table that displays the prices of the product variations in a grid. So, follow the following steps:

1. Add a New Table

Navigate to Woosuite » Product Table from your WordPress dashboard and click on the Add New Table button. 

Once you click it, you’ll see a screen from where you can create and control the different table settings.

Now, we need to hide a few things so that the WooCommerce price matrix will give an excellent look on the product page. 

5.1. Hide the Page Length

First, we need to hide the  ‘Show [x] products’ dropdown list. To hide it select the “Hidden” from the dropdown. 

5.2. Hide the Search Box

As we are displaying the price matrix on the product page so I have hidden the search box so that users won’t be able to search within this. To hide the search box select “Hidden” from the dropdown. 

Similarly, I have hidden the “Product Totals” and “Pagination Buttons” too. And also make sure that the “Reset” button is disabled. 

3. Enable the Bulk Variations

Now, expand the Bulk Variations tab by clicking on the (▾) 

1. Enable the Bulk Variations

Once you open the Bulk Variations tab, you’ll see a toggle button from where you can enable the variations grid instead of the default table. To enable it, click on the toggle button. 

Once you enable it you’ll see 2 new toggle buttons. One will be “Vertical Attribute” and the other will be “Horizontal Attribute”. 

2. Select Vertical and Horizontal Attributes

From these toggle buttons, you need to select the attributes. You can select vertical attribute and horizontal attribute. 

I have selected “Size” as the Vertical Attribute and “Color” as the Horizontal Attribute. You might have created different attributes on your store so there’s no need to worry, you can select the attributes you have created. 

4. Save the Changes

Once all the settings are done, click the green “Save Changes” button at the top right corner of your screen to save all the settings. 

5. Set Woosuite Product Table as the Variation Table 

To set the Woosuite product table as the default shop page layout, go back to the plugin’s General Settings by clicking on the back arrow at the top. 

Now select the table you just created, from the Enable Variation Table dropdown and click on the Save Changes button to save the changes.

6. Final Results

Now let’s visit the product page of any of the variable products on the store. As you can see from the screenshot below, the prices of all the variations are displayed in a matrix. 

Now users can also select multiple variations at a time and add them to their cart easily by clicking on the Add all to Cart button. 

Note: Add all to cart button is by default enabled. If you want to change this text, you can change it by going into the “Bulk Add to Cart” tab.
