Variable Product Limitations:

↑ Back to top

Currently the extension does allow you to add linked products on variation level. For example, you can add linked products for a specific variation of the variable product. You can also add variations as linked product to another product. However, currently due to technical limitation, the extension does not allow you to add entire variable product as linked-product to another product.
