Customers will be able to select and purchase the product without seeing the products on which it depends in their cart, during their checkout, or on their receipt. Inventory management in Woo Commerce is greatly simplified since you only have to manage inventory levels for the item(s) on which your product or variation is dependent. Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce works for Simple and Variable product types in WooCommerce and you can make a product or variation dependent on a combination of other products and variations. Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce lets you create dependencies on quantities of one or more of the other products. Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce is ideal for: * Selling products in multiple quantities. For an product you already have in your inventory, you can use Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce to sell, for example, a package of six items and and package of 12 items. With Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce you do not need to maintain inventory levels for each quantity of the product as the product inventory is managed for only the single quantity item. * Selling bundled products. You can create a bundle of multiple items and sell them as a single item. With Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce your customers will only see the bundle product in their cart, during the checkout process, and on their order receipt. When a product with stock dependencies is displayed in your store, Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce will check the inventory of the products on which it depends and will only show the product as being available if all the dependent stock items are available. When a product with stock dependencies is added to a shopping cart and eventually purchased, the customer will only see the single product in their cart and order, and will not see the products on which it is dependent. When the product is purchased, Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce will reduce the inventory of the items on which it is dependent by the appropriate amount. ### Configuring Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce is easy to configure for any simple or variable product in your WooCommerce store. A single checkbox is added to each simple product or variation in your WordPress admin that allows you to enable stock dependencies for that product or variation. Once checked, two fields are added for the SKU and the quantity of the dependency. Additional dependencies can be easily added. ### Shopping When a customer views a product with dependencies in your WooCommerce store, they will see the product as you have configured it, but the available quantity and in- stock status will be determined by Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce from the available quantities of each of the products and variations on which it is dependent. ### Cart, Checkout, and Receipt Customers will only see the product they selected, and not the products upon which it is dependent, in their shopping cart, during the checkout process, and on their receipt. ### Restocking Refunds and Cancelled Orders When you issue a refund or cancel an order that has stock dependencies, the plugin will restock the dependency products. ### Privacy The Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce plugin does not affect the way personal information is collected or stored within your WooCommerce store or your WordPress installation. ### Open Source The Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce plugin is open source software.

Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce is ideal for selling groups of one or more products without having to maintain inventory numbers for each grouping and without having each product in the grouping appear as a separate line item in the order and on the receipt. ### How is Stock Dependencies for WooCommerce different from other product grouping plugins? Other product grouping plugins allow you to create different combinations of products within your store but still treat each as a separate product in the customer’s shopping cart, during the checkout process, and on the customer’s order receipt. ### How are dependencies defined? Each dependency that a product or variation has on another product or variation is defined using the (unique) SKU of the product and the quantity of that product that is required. ### Can stock dependencies be created with Product IDs or other identifiers? No. Stock dependencies can only be created with a unique SKU of the product or variation on which the dependency exists. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/713045477bb23d63949acf8dd8515dc9e7699979f1b4d81b03bea304dc3f729e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Exactamente lo que buscaba](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exactamente-lo-que-buscaba-2/)󠁿 [velozer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/velozer/) Sáwir 9, 2022 Después de probar varios plugins mucho más pesados y complejos, he encontrado este que hace exactamente lo que necesito.

I'm using your plugins it is great, but your plugins still do not have new updates… When I made an update to WordPress 5.9.2 your plugin made many problems on my page and on the server. When I made a backup to 5.7.6 everything worked well again. We can use your plugins only if you plan the next updates. Now it is not proffesional. Sorry.

In the meantime I have been using Product Bundles to achieve something similar, but this is much more seamless. It's perfect for multibuy products on discount and lower affiliate rate, or subscriptions sharing the same stock. Also geolocated redirections to different product attributes. I hope before long there will be refund functionality to put the products back in stock and integration with Product Batches by WP Overnight. I'd be happy if this was in a premium paid version. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5d143969bdeed8af6d7873812d8b95a0dfeecf7e2de125f340693c0dbc30a5c3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Amazing!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/amazing-2957/)󠁿 [rostyslavsd](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rostyslavsd/) Dáliw 27, 2021 I usually don't leave reviews for plugins, but this plugin is amazing!

In a restaurant for ex. it could manage your stock of ingredients that are used in many different dishes. If one ingredient is out of stock , the whole dish will be unavailable! Wonderful support from Kevin!

Very simple to use and a great UX for customers (i.e no confusing messages). Everything is managed on the back-end and if one of the dependant products is not in stock, the 'parent' product shows as sold out on the front end. Stock management for the warehouse will be much easier. Huge thanks to the developer.
