WP BackOffice

<p>Link directly to a specific WooCommerce product variation using get variables – yoursite.com/your-single-product/?size=small&color=blue. This is useful if you want to send an email to customers and send them directly to a specific variation without them having to enter it in themselves.</p>

<p>Attach: ‘?[variation_name]=[variation_value]‘ to the end of your product link to have the variations automatically appear on the user’s screen.</p>
<ul>
<li>mysite.com/product/happy-ninja/?color=blue</li>
<li>mysite.com/product/happy-ninja/?color=blue&size=small (additional variations should be separated by ‘&’)</li>
<li>mysite.com/product/happy-ninja/?color=blue+green (where the variation value is “Blue Green” with the space replaced by a ‘+’)</li>
</ul>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>No configuration needed, just install and start using</li>
<li>Supports an infinite number of variations</li>
