How can I increase the number of default product variations in WooCommerce?

A WooCommerce variable product is a standard product type which allows you to offer a group of variations (different sizes, colors, prices and so on) in a product to your customer. This simply means that it shows a wider array of attributes which your customers can choose from.

In order to modify this setting, SSH into the server and open your functions.php file located here:

/wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/functions.php

Now, let’s modify the variable:

Constant – WC_MAX_LINKED_VARIATIONS

Filter – woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold
