Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Variation Converter for WooCommerce

No. The original simple products are set to hidden catalog visibility so they no longer show in your shop or search results. They are not deleted, and Undo makes them visible again.

They stay with the original simple products. Past orders still point to them, and old product URLs still open because hidden products can still be reached by their link. Reviews are not copied to the new variable product.

Two things must match: the SKUs share a family (for example SE1421-01 CL and SE1421-03 CL, or D1701-12 and D1701-14), and the product names start with the same words. Whatever follows the shared words becomes the variant label. You review every group before anything is created.

Not yet. Grouping relies on SKUs, so products without one are never proposed. Only published, visible simple products are scanned. Name-only matching is being considered for a future version.

The originals are kept, hidden, so Undo can restore everything exactly. Each SKU exists on the hidden original and on the new product. Once you're sure you'll keep the new product, you can delete the hidden one yourself. I just changed some products and the list didn't update. Scan results are cached for 30 minutes. Click Scan again to refresh them.

Not in this version. Each variable product gets one attribute. You can change its name before creating, for example from "Color" to "Finish".

Yes. The attribute is only a suggestion. Edit it in the group before you click Create.

Undo deletes the variable product and its variations. Orders keep their line items and totals, but those lines will no longer link to a product. If the new product has already sold, it's usually better to keep it.

It reindexes changed products in Relevanssi automatically. Other search plugins will pick up the changes on their next reindex.

Yes. Use the Split tab, or the "Split into simple products" link under a variable product in your product list. Undo deletes the new simple products and shows the variable product again; as with merging, any orders already placed for those simple products keep their line items but lose the product link.
