What are variable products and how to publish them?
Variable products allow you to offer a wide range of variations on a product by controlling prices, images and more for each variation. You can use them for a product like pants which you can offer in large, medium and small sizes and all in different colors.
In the following, I will teach you in 6 easy step:

step 1-6 to Publish a Product:
dashboard > click on Products > Add New.
Then, enter the product name and description, just like for simple products.

Go to the Product Data section and select Variable product from the drop-down menu.
after you choose, the settings section will open
step 3-6 to Publish a Product: Define Attributes
Click on the Attributes tab within the Product Data section. Here, you can create the attributes that your variations will be based on or choose already created ones (you can add them in the Product > Attributes tab). To add a new attribute, just use the Add new button, and enter the attribute’s name and values.

Once your attributes are set up, go to the Variations tab. You can add variations manually one by one, or use the generate variations option. By using it, WooCommerce will automatically generate all possible combinations of your attributes.
After this, you can customize each value for yourself, for example, the image of each, the price of each, etc.

The time has come to configure the options. There are quite a few options, so check out our brief breakdown of each:
