WooCommerce Use Pricing Tables as Product Variations - wordpress

I'm attempting to emergency-revamp my print company's website after the guy "developing" the site for me simply disappeared off the face of the planet last week, leaving me with no site and potentially countless thousands in lost revenue (not happy isn't close). All goes well until I came across this issue and for the life of me I can't find any answer's anywhere to it:
Creating a tabbed table containing sizes and prices in Wordpress... easy (this is not a stereotypical pricing table)
Integrate woocommerce into the chosen theme...easy
Now, making each price an individual "add to cart" button - major rage quit imminent.
I have no interest in making a product for every single conceivable variation as it's simply not necessary should I be able to get the tabbed table working as described. Having to do so would probably give me heart failure as I would then have to create yet more un-necessary graphics. My customers just want to be able to see the price, click the price (and thus "add it to cart"), purchase, done.
Here's the tabbed table in question in case everything I've just type makes zero sense: http://www.protradeprinting.com/canvasprints/
ANY suggestions would be a big help.

Multi Store with Subdomains

I want to create multiple online shops for selling merchandise products for companies. The products are basically identical but should be personalized in dependence of the company I am building the shop for. Because I do not want to build a new shop every time a new company joins the program I am looking for something like that:
www.myshop.com : One shop with the underlying product database and checkout system - not showing any products, just as a parent structure
www.company1.myshop.com : A slightly personalized shop where only a selection of the product catalogue is available
www.company2.myshop.com : A slightly personalized shop where a different selection of the product catalogue is available
Do you get it?
Does anybody know a tool for that?
Thanks in advance!
I already looked into WooCommerce, Shopify and even WiX. As far as I understood what I am looking for is not supported.
Since your example is based off of subdomains, you can choose to assign a Shopify store to each subdomain. Each store feeds from your inventory and accounting, giving your customers the illusion of a custom experience. Or you can just simplify your life, have one store, and assign your customers to view collections specific to them. That is the smart move. You may not like that, but it would work a peach for you. You just tag customers to see their specific collections, of products specific to those collections. Simple.
I can also think of a dozen other ways to pull this off with Shopify, but that is me, not you. For an opinion question like this, SO is not the right place to ask these kinds of questions, but I answered anyway. Your mileage may vary of course.

Is it possible (error?) that woocommerce automatically deletes a product from an old order?

I deleted products from the shop and emptied the trash (not me, but the automatic function in woocommerce). Then products DISAPPEARED from some orders! Not all products, only 1-1 products were deleted by the system from some orders.
These are old orders, but the time between the order and execution is long, so the order data is needed for a long time. These are not yet fulfilled orders, they are in custom status.
Fortunately, I have regular backups, so I was able to view the original state and put the product back again.
BUT I have a lot of orders and now I'm afraid that the phenomenon will happen again.
Have you ever heard of this? Is there such a built-in feature in woocommerce?
I looked for similar cases online, but couldn't find any. I hope someone knows what caused this to me.

Google analytics - last tracking causes previous tracking records to change

We set up enhanced ecommerce tracking for our shop where we among other things track payment method for each order. In our shop, as a customer, I completed two orders with visa payment option, which can be seen in GA:
Two orders created with visa option, all fine (don't mind the duplicate records for now).
But then I create a third order in our shop with sofort banking (just another payment option) and look how things change:
All order payment methods were changed to sofort banking. Of course I've tried hard reload to see if caching is not involved and even waited a day to see if it changes anything but no, the records stay with sofort banking.
Now we come to the second problem - the duplication. For some reason when I filter with Secondary dimension: Checkout Options (as can be seen on the pics) I get for each tracked order 2 records in the table. Those two problems might be somehow connected.
The question is: Does anyone have an experience with this and knows where the problem might be? If you need additional info please let me know, as of now I don't know in which direction to elaborate.

Woocommerce reduce inventory programmatically when related variation is purchased

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:

Make Ubercart Attributes set price, not change the price

I have been searching for this all over the internet, but haven't came up with the solution just yet.
On my Drupal 7 installation I've happily used Ubercart for a while now, but I'm going to sell software from now on.
I'd like to use attributes to change the price based on the amount of computers and licence experiation date (years from now).
The prices don't always rise the same way, so I can't set an increase of 10% with every year.
I'd like to fill out a price table and when the user makes his choice, he gets the price right.
This is the website I'm talking about (example product): https://www.xsbyte.com/catalog/73
It seems not possible to do this, you could fill out a new price for a new object, or could just make a new product, but that was not what I was looking for.
I ended up using WooCommerce (Wordpress) and integrated both systems, so customers get features like single-logon and shared customer address and payment details (if applicatable).
