Single-page course About 6 min read 100% free plugin

Theo runs Tidal Threads, an apparel store where almost everything comes in sizes and colors. In a normal shop, every variation means another click into the product page. He wants buyers to pick a size and add to cart right from the table.

Know your product types

ProductBay supports all four WooCommerce product types: Simple, Variable, Grouped, and External or Affiliate. Theo’s catalog is mostly Variable products, like a tee in five sizes.

Choosing columns for a product table in ProductBay
Set up your columns first, then choose how variable and grouped products behave in the Options step.

Let buyers choose options in the row

In the Options step Theo sets the display mode for variable and grouped products. On the free plugin, buyers pick options from inline dropdowns right inside the row, then add to cart without leaving the table.

Selecting product options inline in a ProductBay table
Buyers choose size or color inline and add to cart without opening the product page.

Inline variation dropdowns come with the free plugin. ProductBay Pro adds popup and nested display modes for more complex variation sets.

Publish and test

Because cart actions do not run in the wizard preview, Theo saves the table and opens it on a live page to confirm the size picker and add-to-cart flow work end to end.

At Tidal Threads, buying a shirt in the right size is now one row, one dropdown, one click. Theo cut a pile of extra page loads out of every order.

Sell variations faster.
