When using the Variation as Simple Product feature in Variation Monster Pro, you can also add a custom label beside the variation title. This helps customers easily identify that the product displayed on the shop page is actually a variation of a variable product.
For example, the product title can appear like this on the shop page:
Hoodie – Blue, Yes (Variation)
Adding a clear label such as (Variation) improves transparency and helps customers understand that the item is part of a variable product.
How to Configure the Variation Label
↑ Back to topTo add or modify the variation label:
- Go to your WordPress Dashboard.
- Navigate to WooCommerce → Settings.
- Click the Variation Monster Pro tab.
- Open the Variation as Simple section.
- Find the option Variation Label.
- Enter the text you want to display after the variation title (for example: Variation or Variant).
- Click Save Changes.
After saving, the label will automatically appear next to variation titles displayed as simple products on the shop page.
