WP PayPal Variable Product/Product Variation Demo

Simple Variation for PayPal

In order to add a simple variation you can use the following shortcode.

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="1.00" on0="Size" os0_val0="Small" os0_val1="Medium" os0_val2="Large"]

on0

The name of the variation (e.g. Size).

os0_val0

First option field for the variation. If you have created a variation named “Size” you may want to set this value to “Small”.

os0_val1

Second option field for the variation. If you have created a variation named “Size” you may want to set this value to “Medium”.

os0_val2

Third option field for the variation. If you have created a variation named “Size” you may want to set this value to “Large”.

It is up to you how you want to set up on0, os0_val0, os0_val1 and os0_val2. If you specify the on0 parameter in the shortcode the plugin expects at least one option (e.g. os0_val0).

The shortcode above can be modified to offer color options. For example,

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="1.00" on0="Color" os0_val0="Red" os0_val1="Blue" os0_val2="Black"]

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="1.00" on0="Color" os0_val0="Red"]

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="1.00" on0="Color" os0_val0="Red" os0_val1="Blue"]

You can add up to 10 options. For example:

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My Product" on0="Colors" os0_val0="Coral" os0_val1="LightCoral" os0_val2="Salmon" os0_val3="DarkSalmon" os0_val4="LightSalmon" os0_val5="Crimson" os0_val6="Red" os0_val7="FireBrick" os0_val8="DarkRed" os0_val9="Pink"]

Priced Variation for PayPal

If you want to specify a different price for each option you can do so by adding a corresponding amount for it.

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" on0="Size" os0_val0="Small" os0_val1="Medium" os0_val2="Large" os0_amount0="1.99" os0_amount1="2.99" os0_amount2="3.99"]

os0_amount0

The amount that you want to charge for the first option.

os0_amount1

The amount that you want to charge for the second option.

os0_amount2

The amount that you want to charge for the third option.

You can add up to 10 priced options. For example:

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My Product" on0="Colors" os0_val0="Coral" os0_val1="LightCoral" os0_val2="Salmon" os0_val3="DarkSalmon" os0_val4="LightSalmon" os0_val5="Crimson" os0_val6="Red" os0_val7="FireBrick" os0_val8="DarkRed" os0_val9="Pink" os0_amount0="1.99" os0_amount1="2.99" os0_amount2="3.99" os0_amount3="4.99" os0_amount4="5.99" os0_amount5="6.99" os0_amount6="7.99" os0_amount7="8.99" os0_amount8="9.99" os0_amount9="10.99"]

Multiple Variations for PayPal

You can add a second variation (without prices) by using the following parameters in the shortcode.

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="Buy Now Product" on0="Size" os0_val0="Small" os0_val1="Medium" os0_val2="Large" os0_amount0="1.99" os0_amount1="2.99" os0_amount2="3.99" on1="Color" os1_val0="Blue" os1_val1="Black" os1_val2="Red"]

The second variation can also support up to 10 options. For example:

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="Buy Now Product" on0="Size" os0_val0="Small" os0_val1="Medium" os0_val2="Large" os0_amount0="1.99" os0_amount1="2.99" os0_amount2="3.99" on1="Color" os1_val0="Blue" os1_val1="Black" os1_val2="Red" os1_val3="Pink" os1_val4="Yellow" os1_val5="Grey" os1_val6="Orange" os1_val7="White" os1_val8="Green" os1_val9="Brown"]
