How to Accept Price Offers on Product Variations

To take price offers on individual variations with Name Your Price: Make Your Own Offer for WooCommerce, use the Pro per-variation option: set Products to Enable for selected products only and tick Per variation under WPFactory > Price Offers > General, then set Price offers to Yes on each variation.

Symptoms #

• The Make an offer button shows on a variable product, but offers are saved against the parent product, so you cannot tell which size or color the customer wanted.
• You want offers on some variations only, and the button should appear only when one of them is selected.
• With per-variation offers set up, the button does not appear after a variation is selected.

How variations work in Name Your Price #

• Free (Enable for all products): the button appears on variable products like on any other product, and the offer is recorded for the parent product. The customer’s variation choice is not attached to the offer. A simple workaround is to keep the Customer message field enabled (it is on by default) and ask customers to name the variation there, for example in the Form header text.
• Pro (per variation): each variation has its own Price offers setting. The button appears only when the customer selects an enabled variation, and the offer is recorded for that variation. When the offer is accepted, the add-to-cart link puts that exact variation in the cart at the agreed price.

Fix: enable offers per variation (Pro) #

1. Go to WPFactory > Price Offers (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Price Offers) and open the General tab.
2. Set Products to Enable for selected products only.
3. Under Selected Products Options, tick Per variation. Tick Per product as well if you also want offers on simple products. Click Save changes.
4. Edit the variable product, open Product data > Variations, expand each variation you want to accept offers on and set Price offers to Yes. You can also set a price step, minimal, maximal and default price, default quantity, and auto-accept and auto-reject prices per variation.
5. Click Save changes in the Variations panel and Update the product.

If the button still does not appear #

• No variation selected: the button is hidden until the customer picks an enabled variation, and hides again when they click Clear.
• Theme or swatches plugin: Name Your Price listens for the standard WooCommerce show_variation event on the form.variations_form element. A theme or swatches plugin that replaces the variation form without firing this event prevents the button from showing. Test with the Storefront theme to confirm, then ask the theme or swatches author for WooCommerce variation event support.
• Exclusions: the Exclude options on the General tab (Out of stock, With price, Above price, Below price) still apply.
• Logged-out visitors: if User visibility is set to Logged-in users only, guests never see the button.

Confirm the fix #

Open the product, select an enabled variation and check that Make an offer appears. Send a test offer, then open Offers in wp-admin: the offer should show the variation, not only the parent product.
