Plugin Description
WooCommerce Attribute Stock supercharges your stock by allowing you to share inventories between multiple products/variations, or deduct different amounts of stock for each purchase of a product, variation, or attribute.
Easily track and manage shared product stock, variable stock, linked stock, product addons, product combos, parts, measurements, ingredients, and much more!
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE ⚠️
This is a free LITE version for testing and limited use. Importantly, it does not affect frontend product stock or prevent over-purchasing. It can however be used to track internal attribute stock. For all features listed below, you can purchase the full version here.
Why would I need this?
Let’s say you have an online store that sells custom printed t-shirts, with each t-shirt print listed as a product on your site. Simple enough, right?
Not exactly… Since WooCommerce can only track stock at the product level, there’s no way to keep track of the total number of blank t-shirts you have in stock between each of your products.
Your stock levels would quickly go out of sync and your customers would be able to purchase 10 different prints even if you only have one t-shirt left in stock!
How does attribute stock fix this?
By adding stock to global product attributes, you can effortlessly share one or more inventories between any number of products or variations that have these attributes.
Shared stock levels are accurately tracked, available stock is displayed to customers, and over-purchasing is prevented.
This example barely scratches the surface of what’s possible. Make sure to check out all of the features and examples below for more advanced use cases.

🧩 More Examples
Example #1 – Variable stock
You have a candy shop and sell candy in bags of 10, 25, and 100. Simply set your total stock at the product level and specify a Stock multiplier on each of your product variations (demo). The respective amount will be deducted from your total stock for each purchase. If you need to share variable stock across more than one product listing, you can use an attribute stock item instead (demo).
Example #2 – Multiple attributes
Often your stock will have more than one attribute, such as t-shirts with different sizes and colors. In this case it’s trivial to create an attribute stock item with rules to match any number or combination of attributes and attribute terms (demo).
Example #3 – Product bundles
Sometimes you’ll want to sell several simple products as well as a bundle of these products for a discount. Since attributes can be assigned at the product-level as well as the variation-level, you can easily create and manage stock that’s shared between a product and a variation of a different product (demo).
Example #4 – “Any” variations
Attribute stock doesn’t require you to specify each of your product variations explicitly, like you’d normally need to do when managing stock on variations. If you have product variations that share similar data like price and weight, you can simplify your product by grouping them into a single variation with Any selected for its attribute(s). Stock will be accurately handled for each attribute according to your attribute stock rules (demo).
