WooCommerce Bulk Variations

There are several plugins with similar names, but the most prominent "WooCommerce Bulk Variations" tool is the one developed by **Barn2**. It serves two primary purposes: helping shop owners **manage** variations faster in the backend and helping customers **buy** them faster in the frontend.

### 🚀 Key Features for Customers (Frontend) 

This plugin is perfect for wholesale, B2B, or high-volume stores (like apparel or electronics) where customers need to buy multiple sizes or colors at once. 

* **Bulk Order Grid:** Replaces the standard "Select Option" dropdowns with a matrix-style grid. For example, sizes (S, M, L) can be rows and colors (Red, Blue) can be columns. 
* **Massive Time Saver:** Customers can enter quantities for 10 different variations and click "Add to Cart" just once, rather than repeating the process 10 times. 
* **3+ Attributes Support:** Unlike most grid plugins that only handle two dimensions (X and Y), Barn2's version can handle 3 or more attributes by adding extra selectors above the grid. 
* **Price Matrix:** It can display a simple price table for information-only purposes if you don't want the "Add to Cart" functionality enabled.

### 🛠 Key Features for Admins (Backend) 

Managing 50 variations of a single product is usually a nightmare in standard WooCommerce. This plugin adds "Power Tools" to the **Product Data > Variations** tab: 

* **Advanced Filters:** Instantly filter your variation list by specific attributes (e.g., "Show me only 'Blue' variations") or stock status. 
* **True Bulk Editing:** Select multiple variations and apply changes only to those selected. 
* *Example:* Increase the price of all "XL" shirts by $5 in one click. 


* **Bulk Image Upload:** Apply a single image to all selected variations simultaneously. 
* **Inventory Control:** Toggle "Manage Stock" or change stock levels for a specific subset of variations without touching the others.
