I am looking for a way to add product variations per category. For example: Category t-shirts: -> variants: size, color, etc.
I know it can be added per product, but that can a huge thing when there are lots of products. It would be easier to simply set them on category, since this is what my client would like.
Hope I explained it clearly.
Thanks.

there's this great plugin that you can put selling points to all products on the store but the problem is that you can't specify categories or products to show it it just shows the same ones everywhere. I tried finding an alternative - even a paid version and i can't. Does anyone know of alternatives or can you tell me how to modify it to specify categories at least?

It's not working as I would like to, and as i have seen online many people have the same issue, you can't specify products or categories that you can post the information on
I have two main categories i.e. Buy and Rent, and both having the same products. Now I want to show different prices for the buy category and a different one for the rent category for all products. Is there any way to do that?
You can't set the prices differently in woocommerce for different categories. You really have a few options:
Don't make rent and buy categories. Make them attributes or variations on products and use conditionals.
Use hooks at pretty much every stage of checkout to adjust the pricing based on a cookie or temp variable. This will be a nightmare for reporting.
Make separate products. You can use hooks to update the inventory levels on the sale/rental of the offsetting product if total inventory is an issue.
Ok, will do my best to explain the problem.
I am selling limited edition prints on my site. They come in multiple sizes, and they also come framed and unframed.
Right now, I set up each product to have 2 attributes: size & frame.
Within the variations, I have 4 options
11x17 unframed
11x17 framed
20x30 unframed
20x30 framed
The problem occurs with the inventory. There are 10 total 11x17 prints, but since I have to enter a stock quantity for each variation, I have to do something like this:
11x17 unframed 10qty
11x17 framed 10qty
Which makes it seems as though there are 20 total prints, instead of 10.
Ideally, I'd want to keep inventory based on attribute, not variation, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that.
I am unable to set up the Frame as an add-on product because the cost of the frame goes up, as the size of the print goes up.
I am wondering, if there is a way to programmatically reduce the stock of other variations, when one variation is purchased. So, when someone purchases the "11x17 unframed", the "11x17 framed" stock is reduced -1 at the same time.
All of the products on the site are exactly the same, so I wouldn't mind hard-coding the specific variation names in the code.
Not sure if something like this is doable, but I would hugely appreciate any insights.
This is the closest example I could find to customizing how stock is handled:

I have a shop where every single jacket has a unique pattern, so every product is different and for every product I just have one piece.
Still, I would like to have reviews under my products.
Is it possible to somehow show the same reviews under all products?
After all, they are the same, they just have different patterns.
So for example if I put in a new product it will still have all the reviews like all the other products? Any hint is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
EDIT: Someone in another forum said:
Reviews are comments. After saving a comment action_hook wp_insert_comment starts.
You could use this to post the same comment under all products. To select all products you would need something that all products have in common.
How would I do this practically, any tips or steps? What would would I need to learn/read?
Thanks for any hints.
Is there a way to assign unique categories to individual product variations? For example a site that sells baby bibs, in pink or blue. You'd have one product (the bib) with two variations (colours). You might also have two categories, Boy Bibs and Girl Bibs.
Could the pink bib variation be assigned to the Girl Bibs category, whilst the blue bib variation is assigned to the Boy Bibs category? The only difference between the two bibs is the colour so it makes sense to have them setup as product variations.
Previously the client handled this in OpenCart by duplicating products to assign them to their respective category which seemed the wrong way to do it.
EDIT:
I suppose this scenario is a bit like 'six of one, half a dozen of the other' - neither way is wrong or right and the answer might come down to how the client wants to handle orders that are generated
In my opinion that is not possible as the product (the main product) is bound to one or multiple categories, variations are linked to the main product. So either do as with OpenCart - duplicate the product remove the unneeded variations.
